Running Out of Fuel (Diesel Engines)
If the engine stalls and you think that you’ve run out of
fuel, do this:
CAUTION:
Diesel fuel is flammable. It could start a fire if it
gets on hot engine parts. You could be burned.
Don’t let too much fuel flow from the air bleed
valve, and wipe up any spilled fuel with a cloth.
To restart your engine:
1. If you’re parked on a level surface, add at least two
gallons of fuel to each fuel tank your vehicle may
have. However, if you’re parked on a slope, you may
need to add up to five gallons of fuel.
2. Follow the fuel priming procedure earlier in this
section to prime the fuel filter.
3. Close the air bleed valve
4. Turn the ignition key to START for 10 to 15 seconds
at a time until your engine starts. If the engine tries
to run, but does not run smoothly, increase the rpm a
little using the accelerator pedal. This will help force
air through the system.
