2023 JEEP GLADIATOR light

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS421
NOTE:Intentional tampering with the emissions control
system can result in civil penalties being assessed
against you.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS – DIESEL ENGINE
Federal law requires that you must fuel this vehicle
with Ultra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm
Sulfur maximum) and prohibits the use of Low
Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur
maximum) to avoid damage to the emissions
control system.
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable
supplier in your vehicle. For most year-round
service, Number 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM
(formerly known as the American Society for
Testing and Materials) specification D-975 Grade
S15 will provide good performance. If the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below 20°F or -7°C), or
is required to operate at colder-than-normal
conditions for prolonged periods, use climatized
Number 2 diesel fuel or dilute the Number 2 diesel
fuel with 50% Number 1 diesel fuel. This will
provide better protection from fuel gelling or
wax-plugging of the fuel filters.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of water. To
prevent fuel system trouble, drain the
accumulated water from the fuel/water separator
using the fuel/water separator drain provided on
the fuel filter housing. If you buy good quality fuel
and follow the listed cold weather
recommendations, fuel conditioners should not be
required in your vehicle. If available in your area, a
high cetane “premium” diesel fuel may offer
improved cold-starting and warm-up performance.
DIESEL FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
This diesel engine has been developed to take
advantage of the high energy content and
generally lower cost Number 2 Ultra Low Sulfur
diesel fuel or Number 2 Ultra Low Sulfur climatized
diesel fuels.
NOTE:
If you accidentally fill the fuel tank with gasoline
or DEF on your diesel vehicle, do not start the
engine. Damage to the engine and fuel system
could occur. Please call an authorized dealer for
service.
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting
ASTM specification D-975 may be used with
your diesel engine without any adjustments to
regular service schedules.
Commercially available fuel additives are not
necessary for the proper operation of your
diesel engine.
Number 1 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel should
only be used where extended arctic conditions
(-10°F or -23°C) exist.
The use of fuel additives, which are now being
sold as octane enhancers, is not recom
-
mended. Most of these products contain high
concentrations of methanol. Fuel system
damage or vehicle performance problems
resulting from the use of such fuels or addi -
tives is not the responsibility of The manufac -
turer and may void or not be covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending
agent. They can be unstable under certain
conditions and hazardous or explosive when
mixed with diesel fuel.
CAUTION!
If the Water in Fuel Indicator Light remains on,
DO NOT START engine before you drain the water
from the fuel filter(s) to avoid engine damage
