Fuel Selection
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 specifi-
cation 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.
Pickup models, and Chassis Cab
models configured with optional B20 capability, are additionally
compatible with 20% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D-7467.
