Running Out of Fuel
If the diesel engine stalls and you think that you have
run out of fuel, do this to restart the engine:
{
WARNING:
Diesel fuel is flammable. It could start a fire if it
gets on hot engine parts. You could be burned. Do
not let too much fuel flow from the air bleed valve,
and wipe up any spilled fuel with a cloth.
1. If parked on a level surface, add at least 2 gallons
(7.6 liters) of fuel. However, if parked on a slope,
up to 5 gallons (18.9 liters) of fuel might need to be
added.
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 the 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.
The service engine soon light may come on if the
vehicle has run out of fuel. This light may stay on for a
few drive cycles after the condition is corrected, but will
eventually clear itself.
Filling the Tank
{
WARNING:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can
cause bad injuries. To help avoid injuries to you
and others, read and follow all the instructions on
the fuel pump island. Turn off the engine when
refueling. Do not smoke near fuel or when
refueling the vehicle. Do not use cellular phones.
Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials away
from fuel. Do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling the vehicle. This is against the law
in some places. Do not re-enter the vehicle while
pumping fuel. Keep children away from the fuel
pump; never let children pump fuel.
The fuel cap may be on either or both sides of the
vehicle, depending upon option content.
To remove the cap, turn it slowly counterclockwise.
