Fuel Tank Filler Cap
WARNING
Be sure to place the starter switch in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position to shut down •
the engine before refueling the vehicle. Refueling while the engine is running
could cause a fire in your vehicle.
When refueling, never smoke or place any ignition source nearby. There is a risk
•
of fire.
After refueling, make sure that the fuel tank filler cap is tightly closed.
•
CAUTION
Always use only a low-sulfur diesel fuel (50 ppm or lower sulfur content) or •
super-low-sulfur diesel fuel (10 ppm or lower sulfur content). The use of a poor-
quality diesel fuel, mixing such an additive as water remover to the fuel in the
tank, or filling the tank with gasoline, kerosene or an alcohol-based fuel or its
mixture with a diesel fuel will badly affect the fuel filter and result in lubrication
problems in fuel-lubricated components of the injectors. In addition, this practice
can also impair the operation of the engine and the diesel particulate defuser
(DPD), the exhaust emission cleaning system, possibly leading to breakdown
of the engine-related systems. If an incorrect fuel should accidentally be added,
drain all fuel from the system. Failure to observe this precaution can result in a
fire or permanent damage when the engine is started.
The use of any fuel other than a low-sulfur or super-low-sulfur diesel fuel in a
•
DPD-equipped vehicle may violate the relevant regulations enforced in certain
countries or regions.
Be sure to slowly open the fuel tank filler cap. If you open it quickly, fuel may •
spurt out.
