RUNNING OUT OF FUEL -
DIESEL
Avoid running out of fuel. This allows air toenter the fuel system and may make itdifficult to restart your vehicle.
If your vehicle runs out of fuel:
•Normally adding 4–5 gal (15–19 L) offuel is enough to restart the engine. Ifyour vehicle is out of fuel and on asteep grade, more than 5 gal (19 L)may be required.
•You must purge trapped air from thesystem before restarting the engine.
Purging Air From the System
Switch the ignition on for 30 seconds andthen switch the ignition off. Repeat thisoperation six times in a row to purge anytrapped air from the fuel system.
Any remaining air in the system self-purgeswhen the engine starts. The engine mayrun rough or produce white smoke whenair remains in the fuel system. This isnormal and stops after a short period. Ifthe engine continues to run rough, haveyour vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Starting the Engine
Do not crank the engine for more than 10seconds as starter damage may occur. Ifthe engine fails to start, switch the ignitionoff and wait 30 seconds before crankingthe engine again. See Starting a DieselEngine (page 103).
