DURAMAX Diesel Engine (LML/LGH) - 2011
9-36
Driving and Operating
For chassis-cab models, refuel the
front tank first, or in instances when
only a partial fuel fill is desired.
An automatic transfer mechanism
will maintain approximately equal
fuel levels in both tanks, so no
switching is required by the
operator.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it
slowly to the left (counterclockwise).
{
WARNING
Fuel can spray out on you if you
open the fuel cap too quickly.
If you spill fuel and then
something ignites it, you could be
badly burned. This spray can
happen if the tank is nearly full,
and is more likely in hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly and wait
for any hiss noise to stop. Then
unscrew the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill diesel fuel.
Do not top off or overfill your tank,
and wait a few seconds after you
have finished pumping before you
remove the nozzle. Clean fuel
from painted surfaces as soon as
possible. See
“
Washing Your
Vehicle
”
in the Index of the owner
manual. When you put the fuel cap
back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking
sound. Make sure you fully install
the cap.
{
WARNING
If a fire starts while you are
refueling, do not remove the
nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel
by shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.
Notice:
If you need a new fuel
cap, be sure to get the right type.
Your dealer can get one for you.
If you get the wrong type, it may
not fit properly.
Notice:
If your vehicle has been
accidentally filled with gasoline,
do not run the engine or severe
engine damage can occur.
Contact your dealer to have the
fuel system flushed.
