Water In Fuel (If Equipped)
During refueling, it is possible foryou to pumpwater-contaminated diesel fuelinto your fuel tank. Your vehicle’s fuelsystem is equipped with a fuel filter andwater separator to remove water from thefuel. The water in fuel indicator lights whenthe fuel and water separator has asignificant quantity of water in it andrequires immediate draining.
If the water in fuel indicator illuminateswhen the engine is running, stop yourvehicle as soon as safely possible, shut offthe engine, then drain the fuel and waterseparator. See Fuel Quality (page 185).Allowing water to stay in the fuel system,after the water in fuel indicator illuminates,could result in extensive damage or failureof the fuel injection system.
WARNING
Do not drain the water-in-fuelseparator while the engine is running.Failure to follow this warning mayresult in fire, serious injury, death orproperty damage.
Note:Do not drain the fuel and waterseparator while the engine is running. Air willenter into the fuel system causing the enginenot to operate properly.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Thepressure in an overfilled tank maycause leakage and lead to fuel sprayand fire.
The fuel system may be underpressure. If you hear a hissing soundnear the fuel filler inlet, do not refueluntil the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel mayspray out, which could cause seriouspersonal injury.
Automotive fuels can cause seriousinjury or death if misused ormishandled.
Flow of fuel through a fuel pumpnozzle can produce static electricity.This can cause a fire if you are fillingan ungrounded fuel container.
Fuel may contain benzene, which isa cancer-causing agent.
When refueling always shut theengine off and never allow sparks oropen flames near the fuel tank fillervalve. Never smoke or use a cell phonewhile refueling. Fuel vapor is extremelyhazardous under certain conditions. Avoidinhaling excess fumes.
Observe the following guidelines whenhandling automotive fuel:
•Extinguish all smoking materials andany open flames before refueling yourvehicle.
•Always turn off the vehicle beforerefueling.
•Automotive fuels can be harmful orfatal if swallowed. Fuel such asgasoline is highly toxic and ifswallowed can cause death orpermanent injury. If fuel is swallowed,call a physician immediately, even if nosymptoms are immediately apparent.The toxic effects of fuel may not bevisible for hours.
•Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling toomuch fuel vapor of any kind can leadto eye and respiratory tract irritation.In severe cases, excessive or prolongedbreathing of fuel vapor can causeserious illness and permanent injury.
•Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. Iffuel is splashed in the eyes, removecontact lenses (if worn), flush withwater for 15 minutes and seek medicalattention. Failure to seek propermedical attention could lead topermanent injury.
•Fuels can also be harmful if absorbedthrough the skin. If fuel is splashed onthe skin, clothing or both, promptlyremove contaminated clothing andwash skin thoroughly with soap andwater. Repeated or prolonged skincontact with fuel liquid or vapor causesskin irritation.
•Be particularly careful if you are takingAntabuse or other forms of Disulfiramfor the treatment of alcoholism.Breathing gasoline vapors could causean adverse reaction, serious personalinjury or sickness. If fuel is splashed onthe skin, wash the affected areasimmediately with plenty of soap andwater. Consult a physician immediatelyif you experience any adverse reactions.

Fuel and Refueling

•Fuels containing methanol.
•Fuels containing metallic-basedadditives, including manganese-basedcompounds.
•Fuels containing the octane boosteradditive, methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
•Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel isprohibited by law).
The use of fuels with metallic compoundssuch as methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (commonly knownas MMT), which is a manganese-basedfuel additive, will impair engineperformance and affect the emissioncontrol system.
Do not be concerned if the enginesometimes knocks lightly. However, if theengine knocks heavily while using fuel withthe recommended octane rating, contactan authorized dealer to prevent any enginedamage.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because thissituation may have an adverse effect onengine components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•You may need to cycle the ignition fromoff to on several times after refuelingto allow the fuel system to pump thefuel from the tank to the engine. Onrestarting, cranking time will take a fewseconds longer than normal. Withkeyless ignition, just start the engine.Crank time will be longer than usual.
•Normally, adding 1.06 gal (4 L) of fuelis enough to restart the engine. If thevehicle is out of fuel and on a steepgrade, more than 1.06 gal (4 L) may berequired.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION SYSTEM - DIESEL
Your vehicle may have a selective catalyticreduction system. The system helps reduceemission levels of oxides of nitrogen fromthe exhaust system. The systemautomatically injects diesel exhaust fluidinto the exhaust system to enable correctselective catalytic reduction systemfunction.
Note:Selective catalytic reduction systemsare not fitted to vehicles in markets whereonly high-sulfur diesel fuel is available.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level
In order for the system to operate correctlyyou must maintain the diesel exhaust fluidlevel.
A warning message appears in theinformation display when the dieselexhaust fluid level is low. If a warningmessage appears, refill the diesel exhaustfluid tank as soon as possible. SeeInformation Messages (page 128).

WARNINGS
Only refill the diesel exhaust fluidtank in a well ventilated area. Whenyou remove the diesel exhaust fluidtank filler cap or a diesel exhaust fluidcontainer cap, ammonia vapors mayescape. Ammonia vapors can be irritatingto skin, eyes and mucous membranes.Inhaling ammonia vapors can causeburning to the eyes, throat and nose andcause coughing and watery eyes.
The diesel exhaust fluid tank has a bluefiller cap. The tank is behind the left-handfront wheel. Fill the tank using a fluid pumpat a diesel exhaust fluid filling station or adiesel exhaust fluid container. Werecommend Motorcraft® diesel exhaustfluid. See Capacities and Specifications(page 427).
Only use diesel exhaust fluid that iscertified by the American PetroleumInstitute (API). Non-certified diesel exhaustfluid use can cause damage not coveredby the vehicle Warranty.
Note: Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in thefuel tank. This can cause damage notcovered by the vehicle Warranty.
You can purchase diesel exhaust fluid atan authorized dealer, most highway truckstops or you can contact roadsideassistance for help in finding a retailer thatsells diesel exhaust fluid. In addition, thereis a government website to help you findthe nearest location to purchase dieselexhaust fluid:http://www.discoverdef.com.
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid TankUsing a Fuel Station Pump
Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank usinga nozzle is similar to fuel fill. The nozzleshuts off automatically when the tank isfull.

WARNINGS
When refueling always shut theengine off and never allow sparks oropen flames near the fuel tank fillervalve. Never smoke or use a cell phonewhile refueling. Fuel vapor is extremelyhazardous under certain conditions. Avoidinhaling excess fumes.
Stop refueling after the fuel pumpnozzle automatically shuts off for thesecond time. Failure to follow thiswill fill the expansion space in the fuel tankand could lead to fuel overflowing.
The fuel system may be underpressure. If the fuel filler cap isventing vapor or if you hear a hissingsound, wait until it stops before completelyremoving the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuelmay spray out and injure you or others.
If you do not use the proper fuel fillercap, excessive pressure or vacuumin the fuel tank may damage the fuelsystem or cause the fuel cap to disengagein a collision, which may result in possiblepersonal injury.
Note:If you must replace the fuel filler cap,replace it with a fuel filler cap designed foryour vehicle. The vehicle Warranty may bevoid for any damage to the fuel tank or fuelsystem if the correct genuine Ford orMotorcraft® fuel filler cap is not used.
Fueling Tips
If air is allowed to enter the fuel system theengine automatically purges any trappedair. To purge the air sooner: prior to enginestart, prime the system by turning the keyto on for 30 seconds then to off. Repeatthis several times. The engine may runrough and produce white smoke while airis in the system. This is normal.
Use only clean, approved containers thatwill prevent the entry of dirt or waterwhenever you store diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel must not be stored in agalvanized container. The fuel will dissolvethe zinc in the galvanized container. Thezinc will then remain in the fuel. If you runthe contaminated fuel through the engine,the zinc will deposit in the fuel injectorscausing expensive-to-repair damage.
Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate
Your vehicle has a fuel fill pipe that is ableto accept fuel up to 20 gal (76 L) perminute from an 1.2 in (30 mm)fuel-dispensing nozzle. Pumping fuel atgreater flow rates may result in prematurenozzle shut-off or spit back.
Truck stops have pumps and nozzlesdesigned for larger, heavy-duty trucks.When refueling at truck stops: if the nozzleshuts off repeatedly when refueling, wait5–10 seconds; then use a slower rate offlow, do not depress the nozzle trigger asfar.
Refueling
When fueling your vehicle do the following:
1.Fully open the fuel tank filler door untilit engages and remove the fuel tankfiller cap. The fuel tank filler cap hasan indexed design with a 1/4 turnon/off feature. Carefully turn the fillercap counterclockwise until it spins off.

After driving through mud, clean off residuestuck to rotating driveshafts and tires.Excess mud stuck on tires and rotatingdriveshafts can cause an imbalance thatcould damage drive components.
Water
If you must drive through high water, driveslowly. Traction or brake capability maybe limited.
When driving through water, determine thedepth and avoid water higher than thebottom of the hubs. If the ignition systemgets wet, your vehicle may stall.
Once through water, always try the brakes.Wet brakes do not stop your vehicle aseffectively as dry brakes. Drying can beimproved by applying light pressure to thebrake pedal while moving slowly.
Note:Driving through deep water maydamage the transmission. If the front or rearaxle is submerged in water, the axlelubricant and power transfer unit lubricantshould be checked and changed ifnecessary.
Driving on Hilly or Sloping Terrain
Although natural obstacles may make itnecessary to travel diagonally up or downa hill or steep incline, you should alwaystry to drive straight up or straight down.
Note:Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.A danger lies in losing traction, slippingsideways and possible vehicle roll over.Whenever driving on a hill, determinebeforehand the route you will use. Do notdrive over the crest of a hill without seeingwhat conditions are on the other side. Donot drive in reverse over a hill without theaid of an observer.
When climbing a steep slope or hill, startin a lower gear rather than downshifting toa lower gear from a higher gear once theascent has started. This reduces strain onthe engine and the possibility of stalling.
If your vehicle stalls, do not try to turnaround because this could cause vehicleroll over. It is better to reverse back to asafe location.
Apply just enough power to the wheels toclimb the hill. Too much power will causethe tires to slip, spin or lose traction,resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Descend a hill in the same gear you woulduse to climb up the hill to avoid excessivebrake application and brake overheating.Do not descend in neutral. Disengageoverdrive or move the transmissionselector lever to a lower gear. Whendescending a steep hill, avoid sudden hardbraking as you could lose control. The frontwheels have to be turning in order to steeryour vehicle.
If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, applythe brakes steadily. Do not pump thebrakes.
