Warnings
WARNING: Throughout this guide,you will find warnings identified by thewarning symbol. Warnings remind youto be especially careful to reduce the riskof personal injury.
Diesel Engine Information
The diesel engine fuel system is apressurized two-stage filtration systemand consists of:
•A frame-mounted Fuel and WaterSeparator primary filter with an electricfuel pump and water drain
•An engine-mounted secondary fuelfilter
•A fuel injector for each cylinder (8total)
•A high-pressure fuel pump
•A high-pressure fuel rail for eachcylinder bank (2 total)
•Numerous high-pressure pipes fromthe high-pressure pump to the rails,and rails to the injectors
The fuel and water separator removesboth water and impurities from the fuel.The engine-mounted filter filters finerimpurities from the diesel fuel. Theengine-mounted fuel filter and theframe-mounted fuel filter should bechanged at the recommended serviceinterval or when indicated by theinformation display LOW FUEL PRESSUREmessage. See Scheduled Maintenance(page 325).
The fuel and water separator should bedrained at regular intervals (recommendedat every oil change) or when indicated bythe information display and water in fuelindicator light. See Fuel Quality (page108).
Proper fuel filter maintenance and promptwater draining when the water in fuel lightilluminates is essential to prevent injectionequipment damage. Ignoring the water infuel light or the information displaymessage WATER IN FUEL DRAIN FILTERcan cause your vehicle to go into a reducedpower mode.
A frame-mounted electric fuel pumplocated inside the fuel and water separatordraws fuel from the fuel tank to providepressurized fuel to the engine. The fuelpump contains a pressure relief valve foroverpressure protection in the event ofrestricted flow.
The fuel injection system is controlledthrough the powertrain control module.
Engine Protection Mode
Ford diesel engines are equipped withengine protection and emission controlsystems. These systems monitor criticaltemperatures and pressures, and modifyengine operation accordingly. Thesemodified engine performancecharacteristics are normal.

Biodiesel fuel is a chemically convertedproduct from renewable fuel sources, suchas vegetable oils, animal fats and wastecooking greases.
To help achieve acceptable engineperformance and durability when usingbiodiesel in your vehicle:
•Confirm the biodiesel content of thefuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less
•Only use biodiesel fuel of good qualitythat complies with industry standards
•Follow the recommended servicemaintenance intervals. SeeScheduled Maintenance (page 325).
•Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fueltank for more than 1 month
•Consider changing brands or reducingbiodiesel content if you have coldtemperature fuel gelling issues or afrequent LOW FUEL PRESSUREmessage appearing
•Do NOT use raw oils, fats or wastecooking greases
Use of biodiesel in concentrations greaterthan 20% may cause damage to yourvehicle, including engine and/or exhaustafter-treatment hardware (exhaustcatalyst and particulate filter) failures.Concentrations greater than 20% can alsocause fuel filter restrictions that may resultin a lack of power or damage to fuelsystem components, including fuel pumpand fuel injector failures.
SAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 oil isrecommended for fuels with greater than5% biodiesel (B5). Refer to the Specialoperating conditions section under theSchedule Maintenance chapter for moreinformation about oil change intervals andother maintenance when operating onbiodiesel.
Look for a label on the fuel pump toconfirm the amount of biodiesel containedin a diesel fuel. Biodiesel content is oftenindicated with the letter B followed by thepercent of biodiesel in the fuel. Forexample, B20 indicates a fuel containing20% biodiesel. Ask the service stationattendant to confirm the biodiesel contentof a diesel fuel if you do not see a label onthe fuel pump.
Biodiesel fuels degrade more easily thandiesel fuels not containing biodiesel andshould not be stored in the fuel tank formore than 1 month. If you plan to park orstore your vehicle for more than 1 month,then you should empty your vehicle fueltank of biodiesel fuel. You should fill thetank with a pure petroleum-based dieselfuel and run your vehicle for a minimum of30 minutes.
Note:Degraded or oxidized biodiesel candamage fuel system seals and plastics andcorrode steel parts.
During cold weather, if you have problemsoperating on biodiesel, you may need touse a diesel fuel with lower biodieselcontent, try another brand, or discontinuethe use of biodiesel.
Diesel Fuel Additives
It should not be necessary to add anyaftermarket additives to your fuel if youuse a high quality diesel fuel that conformsto ASTM industry specifications.Aftermarket additives can damage the fuelinjector system or engine.
Use Motorcraft® cetane booster or anequivalent cetane booster additive if yoususpect fuel has low cetane. UseMotorcraft® anti-gel & performanceimprover or an equivalent additive if thereis fuel gelling.

•Incorrect fuel for climatic conditions.
•Incorrect engine oil viscosity forclimactic conditions.
Note:Some vehicles have a lifetime fuelfilter that is integrated with the fuel tank.Regular maintenance or replacement is notneeded.
Note:If these checks do not help youcorrect the concern, have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible.
Noise Emissions Warranty,Prohibited Tampering Acts andMaintenance
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulationbecame effective governing the noiseemission on trucks over 10,000 lb(4,536 kg) Gross Vehicle Weight Rating(GVWR). The preceding statementsconcerning prohibited tampering acts andmaintenance, and the noise warrantyfound in the Warranty Guide, areapplicable to complete chassis cabs over10,000 lb (4,536 kg) GVWR.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
WARNING: Do not park, idle ordrive your vehicle on dry grass or otherdry ground cover. The emission systemheats up the engine compartment andexhaust system, creating the risk of fire.
WARNING: The normal operatingtemperature of the exhaust system isvery high. Never work around or attemptto repair any part of the exhaust systemuntil it has cooled. Use special care whenworking around the catalytic converter.The catalytic converter heats up to a veryhigh temperature after only a shortperiod of engine operation and stays hotafter the engine is switched off.
WARNING: Exhaust leaks mayresult in entry of harmful and potentiallylethal fumes into the passengercompartment. If you smell exhaustfumes inside your vehicle, have yourvehicle inspected immediately. Do notdrive if you smell exhaust fumes.
Your vehicle has various emission controlcomponents and a catalytic converter thatenables it to comply with applicableexhaust emission standards.
To make sure that the catalytic converterand other emission control componentscontinue to work properly:
•Do not crank the engine for more than10 seconds at a time.
•Do not run the engine with a spark pluglead disconnected.
•Do not push-start or tow-start yourvehicle. Use booster cables. See JumpStarting the Vehicle (page 190).
•Use only the specified fuel listed.
•Do not switch the ignition off when yourvehicle is moving.
•Avoid running out of fuel.
•Have the items listed in scheduledmaintenance information performedaccording to the specified schedule.
Note:Resulting component damage maynot be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
The scheduled maintenance items listedin scheduled maintenance information areessential to the life and performance ofyour vehicle and to its emissions system.
If you use anything other than Ford,Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts formaintenance replacements or for serviceof components affecting emission control,such non-Ford parts should be equivalentto genuine Ford Motor Company parts inperformance and durability.
