CAUTION!
Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the
use of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel
system.
NOTE:
•
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel, meeting ASTM
specification D-6751 may be used with your Cum-
mins
威
diesel engine. Use of biodiesel mixture in excess
of 5% can negatively impact the fuel filter’s ability to
separate water from the fuel, resulting in high pressure
fuel system corrosion or damage.
•
Ethanol blends are not recommended or approved for
use with your Cummins
威
diesel engine.
•
In addition, commercially available fuel additives are
not necessary for the proper operation of your Cum-
mins

Intervention Regeneration Strategy – EVIC
Message Process Flow
The Cummins
威
diesel engine meets all EPA Heavy Duty
Diesel Engine Emissions Standards, resulting in the low-
est emitting diesel engine ever produced.
To achieve these emissions standards, your vehicle is
equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust
system. The engine and exhaust after-treatment system
work together to achieve the EPA Heavy Duty Diesel
Engine Emissions Standards. These systems are seam-
lessly integrated into your vehicle and managed by the
Cummins
威
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
manages engine combustion to allow the exhaust sys-
tem’s catalyst to trap and burn Particulate Matter (PM)
pollutants, with no input or interaction on your part.
Additionally, your vehicle has the ability to alert you to
additional maintenance required on your truck or engine.
