CAUTION!
Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the
use of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel
system.

A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel, meeting ASTM
specification D-6751 may be used with your Cum-
mins
威
diesel engine. Use of biodiesel mixture in excess
of 5% can negatively impact the on-engine fuel filter’s
ability to separate water from the fuel, resulting in
high pressure fuel system corrosion or damage.
•
Ethanol blends are not recommended or approved for
use with your Cummins
威
diesel engine.
•
In addition, commercially available fuel additives are
not necessary for the proper operation of your Cum-

Intervention Regeneration Strategy – EVIC
Message Process Flow
The Cummins
威
diesel engine meets all EPA Heavy Duty
Diesel Engine Emissions Standards, resulting in the low-
est emitting diesel engine ever produced.
To achieve these emissions standards, your vehicle is
equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust
system. The engine and exhaust after-treatment system
work together to achieve the EPA Heavy Duty Diesel
Engine Emissions Standards. These systems are seam-
lessly integrated into your vehicle and managed by the
Cummins
威
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
manages engine combustion to allow the exhaust sys-
tem’s catalyst to trap and burn Particulate Matter (PM)
pollutants, with no input or interaction on your part.
