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 -
