Very Cold Weather Operation
Follow the instructions listed previously under the
heading
“
What Fuel to Use.
”
Notice:
Never use home heating oil or gasoline
in your vehicle's diesel engine. They can cause
engine damage.
In cold weather, the fuel filter could become clogged
(waxed). To unclog it, move the vehicle to a warm
garage area and warm the filter to between 32°F and
50°F (0°C to 10°C). You will not need to replace it.
Water in Fuel
{
WARNING:
Diesel fuel containing water is still flammable. You
could be burned. If you ever try to drain water
from the fuel, keep sparks, flames, and smoking
materials away from the mixture.
Notice:
If there is water in the diesel fuel and the
weather is warm or humid, fungus and bacteria can
grow in the fuel. They can damage the fuel system.
A diesel fuel biocide can be used to sterilize the fuel
system. However, the fuel system may still need to
be cleaned. Your dealer/retailer can advise you of
the appropriate solution.
If the fuel tank needs to be purged to remove water,
see your dealer/retailer or a qualified technician.
Improper purging can damage the fuel system.
Sometimes, water can be pumped into the fuel tank
along with the diesel fuel. This can happen if a service
station does not regularly inspect and clean its fuel
tanks, or if it gets contaminated fuel from its suppliers.
If this happens, a
water-in-fuel indicator light
comes on in the
instrument panel. If it
does, the water must be
drained.
Your dealer/retailer can show you how to do this.
