Warnings
WARNING: Throughout this guide,you will find warnings identified by thewarning symbol. Warnings remind youto be especially careful to reduce the riskof personal injury.
Diesel Engine Information
The diesel engine fuel system is apressurized two-stage filtration systemand consists of:
•A frame-mounted Fuel and WaterSeparator primary filter with an electricfuel pump and water drain
•An engine-mounted secondary fuelfilter
•A fuel injector for each cylinder (8total)
•A high-pressure fuel pump
•A high-pressure fuel rail for eachcylinder bank (2 total)
•Numerous high-pressure pipes fromthe high-pressure pump to the rails,and rails to the injectors
The fuel and water separator removesboth water and impurities from the fuel.The engine-mounted filter filters finerimpurities from the diesel fuel. Theengine-mounted fuel filter and theframe-mounted fuel filter should bechanged at the recommended serviceinterval or when indicated by theinformation display LOW FUEL PRESSUREmessage. See Scheduled Maintenance(page 325).
The fuel and water separator should bedrained at regular intervals (recommendedat every oil change) or when indicated bythe information display and water in fuelindicator light. See Fuel Quality (page108).
Proper fuel filter maintenance and promptwater draining when the water in fuel lightilluminates is essential to prevent injectionequipment damage. Ignoring the water infuel light or the information displaymessage WATER IN FUEL DRAIN FILTERcan cause your vehicle to go into a reducedpower mode.
A frame-mounted electric fuel pumplocated inside the fuel and water separatordraws fuel from the fuel tank to providepressurized fuel to the engine. The fuelpump contains a pressure relief valve foroverpressure protection in the event ofrestricted flow.
The fuel injection system is controlledthrough the powertrain control module.
Engine Protection Mode
Ford diesel engines are equipped withengine protection and emission controlsystems. These systems monitor criticaltemperatures and pressures, and modifyengine operation accordingly. Thesemodified engine performancecharacteristics are normal.

2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-PrintingIntroductionE154903

If these modified engine performancecharacteristics persist for an extendedperiod and either the service engine soonor powertrain malfunction, reduced power,electronic throttle control light isilluminated, have the system checked byan authorized dealer.
Service engine soon
Powertrain malfunction, reducedpower, electronic throttle control
Diesel Lubrication System
It is important to change the engine oil atthe recommended service intervals orwhen indicated by the information displayto maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oiland filter change interval beyond therecommended interval can negativelyaffect engine performance, fuel economyand engine life. See Engine Oil Check(page 227).
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains a primarycooling loop to cool the engine and asecondary cooling loop to cool thetransmission, charge air, and fuel. Thecoolant serves three primary purposes: toprovide heat transfer, freeze pointprotection, and corrosion protection usingadditives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically areused to carry heavy loads and accumulatemileage rapidly. These two factors maycause the additives in the coolant to wearout in a shorter time. You can find moreinformation about coolant additives andcoolant change intervals in the coolantchapter. See General MaintenanceInformation (page 325). Operating theengine with insufficient coolant or coolantadditive can cause severe engine damage.
Selective catalytic reduction system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selectivecatalytic reduction system designed toreduce emission levels of nitrogen oxidesfrom the exhaust of your diesel engine. Thissystem relies on the use of Diesel ExhaustFluid (DEF) that you must replenish atcertain intervals. Failure to maintain properDEF levels or if the DEF becomescontaminated will result in vehicle speedlimitations or result in your vehicle enteringan idle-only mode. See SelectiveCatalytic Reductant System (page 120).
Minor Troubleshooting Guide
If the engine won’t crank
WARNING: Battery posts,terminals and related accessoriescontain lead and lead compounds. Washhands after handling.
Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim,do not go on at all or when the ignition isturned to the start position, the lightsbecome dim or go out, the batteryconnections may be loose or corroded, orthe battery may be discharged. If there isa clicking or stuttering sound coming fromthe engine compartment when you turnthe key to the start position, this may alsoindicate a loose or corroded batteryconnection.
Check the battery connections at thebattery posts, cable connection to theengine grounding point and at the starterconnection.
If you suspect a discharged battery, haveit checked and corrected.

•The gearshift lever must be in P (Park)or N (Neutral) in order for the starterto operate.
•Try operating the starter switch severaltimes. This operation may cleanpotentially corroded contacts or makethe switch temporarily operable untilyou can reach the dealer.
•If all electrical connections are tightand you need assistance to start, SeeJump Starting the Vehicle (page 190).
If engine cranks but won’t start
Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10seconds) could cause damage to thestarter motor or the high-pressure fuelpump.
•Check the fuel gauge. You may be outof fuel. If the gauge shows that thereis fuel in the tank, the trouble may bein the electrical system or the fuelsystem. If equipped with an auxiliarytank, be sure that the tank controlswitch is set for the tank with fuel andnot on an empty tank.
•Leaving your ignition key turned to onfor over two minutes without startingmay make starting difficult becausethe glow plugs will cease activation.Reset the system by turning the ignitionkey to off and then back to on again.
Note:If the system is out of fuel and theengine will not start, do not continuecranking the engine. Continued cranking candamage the high-pressure fuel pump.
If the engine runs hot
The following could cause the engine tooverheat:
•Lack of coolant
•Dirty cooling system.
•Plugged radiator fins, A/C condenserand/or oil cooler
•Malfunctioning fan drive
•Driving with frozen coolant
•Sticking thermostat
•Overloading or pulling heavy trailersduring hot weather
•Grill or radiator air blockage
•Slipping or missing drive belt
•Plugged or very dirty air filter
If fuses burn out
WARNING: Replacement fuses andcircuit breakers must always be thesame rating as the original equipmentshown. Never replace a fuse or circuitbreaker with one of a higher rating.Higher rated fuses or circuit breakerscould allow circuit overloading in theevent of a circuit malfunction, resultingin severe vehicle damage or personalinjury due to fire.
Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicatean electrical short-circuit, although a fusemay occasionally burn out from vibration.Insert a second fuse. If this fuseimmediately burns out and you cannotlocate the cause, return your vehicle toyour dealer for a circuit check. SeeChanging a Fuse (page 211).
Selective catalytic reduction systemspeed limit and Idle-only modes
If the vehicle’s speed is limited or in anidle-only mode, the selective catalyticreduction system may be limiting thevehicle’s functions due to low orcontaminated DEF. Check the DEF. SeeSelective Catalytic Reductant System(page 120).
