In the United States, for best results use No. 2-D
diesel fuel year-round (above and below freezing
conditions) as oil companies blend No. 2-D fuel to
address climate differences. No. 1-D diesel fuel can
be used in very cold temperatures (when it stays
below 0°F or
−
18°C); however, it will produce a
power and fuel economy loss. Avoid the use of
No. 1-D diesel fuel in warm or hot climates. It can
result in stalling, poor starting when the engine is
hot, and could damage the fuel injection system.
It is acceptable to use diesel fuel containing up to
5% biodiesel (B5), but the final blended fuel must
meet the same specification, ASTM D 975 (Grades
No. 2-D or No. 1-D S15 commonly known as Ultra
Low Sulfur diesel), as other fuels used in your
vehicle, and the biodiesel used for making this fuel
must meet the latest version of ASTM specification
D 6751. Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils
or animal fat that have been chemically modified to
reduce the possibility of damage to the fuel system
and engine. Higher concentration (i.e., greater
than B5) biodiesel-containing fuels or the use of
unmodified bio-oils blended into diesel fuel at any
concentration is not recommended and could
damage the fuel system and engine. Such damage
would not be covered by your warranty. If there are
questions about the biodiesel-containing fuels you
are using, contact your fuel supplier.
Because of the cleansing properties of biodiesel,
switching from straight diesel to a biodiesel
blend can prematurely restrict the fuel filter with
normal deposits in the fuel system. A fuel filter
replacement might be required sooner than
the recommended interval.
Diesel fuel can foam when you fill the tank. This
can cause the automatic pump nozzle to shut
off, even though the tank is not full. If this happens,
just wait for the foaming to stop and then try
filling the tank more slowly. See Filling the Tank
on page 204.
{
CAUTION:
Heat coming from the engine can cause
the fuel to expand and force the fuel out
of the tank. If something ignites the fuel,
a fire could start and people could be
burned. To help avoid this, try filling the
tank more slowly and fill the fuel tank
only until the automatic nozzle shuts off.
Do not try to top it off.
