Fuel Selection 6.7L
Turbo Diesel Use good quality diesel fuel
from a reputable supplier in
your vehicle. Federal law
requires that you must fuel this
vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur
Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm
Sulfur maximum) and prohibits
the use of Low Sulfur Highway
Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur
maximum) to avoid damage to
the emissions control system.
For most year-round service,
No. 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM
specification D-975 Grade S15
will provide good performance.
If the vehicle is exposed to
extreme cold (below 20°F or
-7°C), or is required to operate
at colder-than-normal
conditions for prolonged
periods, use climatized No. 2
diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2
diesel fuel with 50% No. 1
diesel fuel. This will provide
better protection from fuel
gelling or wax-plugging of the
fuel filters. This vehicle is fully
compatible with biodiesel
blends up to 5% biodiesel
meeting ASTM specification
D-975. Standard Rear Tank -
52 Gallons (197 Liters)
