2022 FORD F-450 Owners Manual

Note:
Do not blend used engine oil with
diesel fuel under any circumstances.
Blending used oil with the fuel significantly
increases your vehicle ’s exhaust emissions
and reduce engine life due to increased
internal wear.
We recommend Top Tier diesel fuel where
available to help minimize engine deposits
and maintain optimal vehicle and engine
performance.
For additional information, visit
www .t op tier g a s. c om .
You should use ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel
designated as number 1-D or 2-D with a
maximum of 15-ppm sulfur in your diesel
vehicle. You can operate your vehicle on
diesel fuels containing up to 20%
biodiesel, also known as B20. These fuels
should meet the ASTM D975 diesel or the
ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry
specifications. Outside of North America,
use fuels meeting EN590 or equivalent
local market standard. Using low-sulfur diesel fuel
(16-500 ppm) or high-sulfur
diesel fuel (greater than 500
ppm) in your diesel engine will cause
certain emission components to
malfunction which could also cause the
service engine soon light to illuminate
indicating an emissions-related concern.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold
temperature. For best results at
temperatures below 19°F (-7°C), we
recommend using a diesel fuel which has
been seasonally adjusted for the ambient
conditions. Choosing the Right Fuel: Vehicles
Operated Where Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel Fuel Is Not Required
For the engine to operate reliably on
low-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, the
engine must be a factory-built high-sulfur
engine (available as a dealer order option
for select markets) or an ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel configured engine that has been
retrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel using
authorized dealer service parts. Failure to
use retrofit components other than those
available through your authorized dealer
results in coolant system damage, engine
overheating, selective catalyst reduction
system or diesel particulate filter damage
and possible base engine damage.
Use only a diesel engine configured for use
with high-sulfur diesel fuel in markets with
diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater
than 15 ppm. Using low-sulfur diesel fuel
(16–500 ppm) or high-sulfur diesel fuel
(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine
designed to use only ultra-low sulfur diesel
fuel could result in damage to engine
emission control devices and the after
treatment system, potentially rendering
the vehicle inoperable.
Vehicles with engines configured for use
with high-sulfur diesel fuel are only
available for sale in countries where
ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not
available or mandated by the government.
Vehicles originally sold in an ultra-low
sulfur diesel fuel market that are
subsequently exported to non-ultra low
sulfur diesel fuel markets will need to be
retrofitted at the customer
’s expense using
Ford authorized dealer service parts in
order to be reliably operated on non-ultra
low sulfur diesel fuel.

Biodiesel
WARNING: Do not mix diesel with
gasoline, gasohol or alcohol. This could
cause an explosion.
Note: Do not use home heating oil,
agricultural fuel, raw fats and oils, waste
cooking greases, biodiesel greater than 20%
or any diesel not intended for highway use.
Damage to the fuel injection system, engine
and exhaust catalyst, and diesel particulate
filter can occur if you use an improper fuel.
Red dye is used to identify fuels intended
for agricultural and non-highway use.
You can operate your vehicle on diesel
fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
known as B20.
Biodiesel fuel is a chemically converted
product from renewable fuel sources, such
as vegetable oils, animal fats and waste
cooking greases.
To help achieve acceptable engine
performance and durability when using
biodiesel in your vehicle:
• Confirm the biodiesel content of the
fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less.
• Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality
that complies with industry standards.
• Follow the recommended service
maintenance intervals. See
General
Maintenance Information (page 622).
• Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel
tank for more than 1 month.
• Consider changing brands or reducing
biodiesel content if you have cold
temperature fuel gelling issues or a
frequently appearing LOW FUEL
PRESSURE message. Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater
than 20% can cause damage to your
vehicle, including engine and/or exhaust
after-treatment hardware (exhaust
catalyst and particulate filter) failures.
Concentrations greater than 20% can also
cause fuel filter restrictions that could
result in a lack of power or damage to fuel
system components, including fuel pump
and fuel injector failures.
We recommend SAE 5W-40 oil for fuels
with greater than 5% biodiesel (B5). For
more information about oil change
intervals and other maintenance when
operating on biodiesel.
See Special
Operating Conditions Scheduled
Maintenance
(page 636).
Look for a label on the fuel pump to
confirm the amount of biodiesel contained
in diesel fuel. Ask the service station
attendant to confirm the biodiesel content
of diesel fuel, if you do not see a label on
the fuel pump.
If you plan to park or store your vehicle for
more than 1 month, then you should empty
your vehicle fuel tank of biodiesel fuel. You
should fill the tank with a pure
petroleum-based diesel fuel and run your
vehicle for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Note: Degraded or oxidized biodiesel can
damage fuel system seals and plastics and
corrode steel parts.
During cold weather, if you have problems
operating on biodiesel, you may need to
use diesel fuel with lower biodiesel
content, try another brand or discontinue
the use of biodiesel.
Diesel Fuel Additives
It should not be necessary to add any
aftermarket additives to your fuel if you
use a high-quality diesel fuel that conforms
to ASTM industry specifications.
Aftermarket additives can damage the fuel
injector system or engine.
207
2022 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202103, First-Printing Fuel and Refueling

Use Motorcraft® cetane booster or an
equivalent cetane booster additive if you
suspect fuel has low cetane. Use
Motorcraft® anti-gel and performance
improver or an equivalent additive if there
is fuel gelling.
Do not use alcohol-based additives to
improve cetane quality, to prevent fuel
gelling or any other use. The use of alcohol
additives could result in damage to the fuel
injectors and system.
Your Warranty may not cover repairs
needed to correct the effects of using an
aftermarket product that does not meet
our specifications in your fuel.
SWITCHING BETWEEN E85 AND
GASOLINE
We do not recommend repeatedly
alternating between E85 and gasoline. If
you switch from using E85 to gasoline, or
from gasoline to E85, add as much fuel as
possible, at least half a tank. Drive your
vehicle immediately for a minimum of 5 mi
(8 km) to allow it to adapt to the change
in ethanol concentration. If you use E85
exclusively, we recommend that you fill
the fuel tank with regular unleaded
gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
FILLING A PORTABLE FUEL
CONTAINER WARNING:
Flow of fuel through a
fuel pump nozzle can produce static
electricity. This can cause a fire if you are
filling an ungrounded fuel container. Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up, which can
produce a spark, when filling an
ungrounded fuel container:
•
Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place the
container on the ground when filling it.
• Do not fill a fuel container when it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).
• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container when filling it.
• Do not use a device that holds the fuel
pump nozzle lever in the fill position.
ADDING FUEL FROM A PORTABLE
FUEL CONTAINER WARNING: Do not insert the nozzle
of a fuel container or an aftermarket
funnel into the fuel filler neck. This may
damage the fuel system filler neck or its
seal and cause fuel to run onto the
ground. WARNING:
Do not pry open the
fuel tank filler valve. This could damage
the fuel system. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in fire, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Do not dispose of fuel
in the household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized waste
disposal facility.
When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
a fuel container, do the following:
1. Fully open the fuel filler door.
2. Turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise and remove it.
3. Add fuel to your vehicle from the fuel container.
208

4. To replace the fuel filler cap, turn it
clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance and it clicks.
5. Fully close the fuel filler door.
Note: If your vehicle runs out of fuel add a
minimum of 1.3 gal (5 L) of fuel to restart
the engine.
Note: You may need to switch the ignition
from off to on several times after refueling
to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel
from the tank to the engine. When
restarting, cranking time takes a few
seconds longer than normal.

WHAT IS THE DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER
The diesel particulate filter is part of your
vehicle's emissions system and filters
harmful diesel particulates from the
exhaust gas.
HOW DOES THE DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER WORK
The diesel particulate filter reduces carbon
emissions by trapping exhaust particles
before they reach the tailpipe. The system
must periodically clean the exhaust
particles that gather inside the filter. This
is carried out in three ways, passive
regeneration, active regeneration and
manual regeneration.
Passive Regeneration
In passive regeneration, the normal
exhaust system temperature cleans the
filter by oxidizing the soot. Cleaning occurs
during normal vehicle operating conditions
due to driving patterns.
Active Regeneration
Once the diesel particulate filter is full,
active regeneration raises the exhaust
temperature to eliminate the particles.
During cleaning, the particles convert to
harmless gasses.
When the engine control module detects
that the diesel particulate filter is nearly
full of particulates, and you are not
operating your vehicle in a manner to allow
effective regeneration, messages appear
in the information display as a reminder
for you to drive your vehicle in order to
clean the diesel particulate filter. If you
drive your vehicle in a manner to allow
effective regeneration, the information
display shows a cleaning exhaust filter
message.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: Do not park or idle your
vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The regeneration
process creates very high exhaust gas
temperatures and the exhaust will
radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after
you have switched the engine off. This is
a potential fire hazard. WARNING:
When the Exhaust
Filter Cleaning message appears in the
information display, do not park near
flammable materials, vapors or
structures until filter cleaning is
complete. WARNING:
The normal operating
temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter or the diesel
particulate filter. The diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and the diesel
particulate filter heat up to very high
temperatures after only a short period
of engine operation and remain hot after
you switch the engine off.
Note: Avoid running out of fuel.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to high temperatures
reached during regeneration and is normal.
Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.
212
2022 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202103, First-Printing Diesel Particulate Filter

Failure to perform active or manual
regeneration when instructed could result
in a clogged diesel particulate filter. If the
diesel particulate filter fills beyond the
regeneration threshold, your vehicle
disables the ability for active and manual
regeneration. This could result in
irreversible damage your vehicle Warranty
may not cover.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
REQUIREMENTS
The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle
requires periodic regeneration to maintain
its correct function.
If your journeys meet one of the following
conditions:
•
You drive only short distances.
• You frequently switch the ignition on
and off.
• Your journeys contain a high level of
acceleration and deceleration.
You must carry out occasional trips with
the following conditions to assist the
regeneration process:
• Drive your vehicle in more favorable
conditions, which you will find at higher
vehicle speeds in normal driving, on a
main road or freeway for a minimum
of 20 minutes. This drive may include
short stops that will not affect the
regeneration process.
• Avoid prolonged idling and observe
speed limits and road conditions.
• Do not switch the ignition off.
• Select a suitable gear to ideally
maintain engine speed between 1500
and 3000 RPM. DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
