Warnings WARNING
Throughout this guide, you will find
warnings identified by the warning
symbol. Warnings remind you to be
especially careful to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Diesel Engine Information
The diesel engine fuel system is a
pressurized two-stage filtration system
and consists of:
•
A frame-mounted Fuel and Water
Separator primary filter with an electric
fuel pump and water drain
• An engine-mounted secondary fuel
filter
• A fuel injector for each cylinder (8
total)
• A high-pressure fuel pump
• A high-pressure fuel rail for each
cylinder bank (2 total)
• Numerous high-pressure pipes from
the high-pressure pump to the rails,
and rails to the injectors The fuel and water separator removes
both water and impurities from the fuel.
The engine-mounted filter filters finer
impurities from the diesel fuel. The
engine-mounted fuel filter and the
frame-mounted fuel filter should be
changed at the recommended service
interval or when indicated by the
information display LOW FUEL PRESSURE
message. See Scheduled Maintenance
(page 316).
The fuel and water separator should be
drained at regular intervals (recommended
at every oil change) or when indicated by
the information display and water in fuel
indicator light. See
Fuel Quality (page
92).
Proper fuel filter maintenance and prompt
water draining when the water in fuel light
illuminates is essential to prevent injection
equipment damage. Ignoring the water in
fuel light or the information display
message WATER IN FUEL DRAIN FILTER
can cause your vehicle to go into a reduced
power mode.
A frame-mounted electric fuel pump
located inside the fuel and water separator
draws fuel from the fuel tank to provide
pressurized fuel to the engine. The fuel
pump contains a pressure relief valve for
overpressure protection in the event of
restricted flow.
The fuel injection system is controlled
through the powertrain control module.
Engine Protection Mode
Ford diesel engines are equipped with
engine protection and emission control
systems. These systems monitor critical
temperatures and pressures, and modify
engine operation accordingly. These
modified engine performance
characteristics are normal.

F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, First Printing IntroductionE154903
Page 12 of 382
If these modified engine performance
characteristics persist for an extended
period and either the service engine soon
or powertrain malfunction, reduced power,
electronic throttle control light is
illuminated, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
Service engine soon
Powertrain malfunction, reduced
power, electronic throttle control
Diesel Lubrication System
It is important to change the engine oil at
the recommended service intervals or
when indicated by the information display
to maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil
and filter change interval beyond the
recommended interval can negatively
affect engine performance, fuel economy
and engine life. See Engine Oil Check
(page 186).
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains a primary
cooling loop to cool the engine and a
secondary cooling loop to cool the
transmission, charge air, and fuel. The
coolant serves three primary purposes: to
provide heat transfer, freeze point
protection, and corrosion protection using
additives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically are
used to carry heavy loads and accumulate
mileage rapidly. These two factors may
cause the additives in the coolant to wear
out in a shorter time. You can find more
information about coolant additives and
coolant change intervals in the coolant
chapter. See
General Maintenance
Information (page 316). Operating the
engine with insufficient coolant or coolant
additive can cause severe engine damage. Selective catalytic reduction system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective
catalytic reduction system designed to
reduce emission levels of nitrogen oxides
from the exhaust of your diesel engine. This
system relies on the use of Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) that you must replenish at
certain intervals. Failure to maintain proper
DEF levels or if the DEF becomes
contaminated will result in vehicle speed
limitations or result in your vehicle entering
an idle-only mode. See
Selective
Catalytic Reduction System (page 95).
Minor Troubleshooting Guide
If the engine won ’t crank WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after
handling. Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim,
do not go on at all or when the ignition is
turned to the start position, the lights
become dim or go out, the battery
connections may be loose or corroded, or
the battery may be discharged. If there is
a clicking or stuttering sound coming from
the engine compartment when you turn
the key to the start position, this may also
indicate a loose or corroded battery
connection.
Check the battery connections at the
battery posts, cable connection to the
engine grounding point and at the starter
connection.
If you suspect a discharged battery, have
it checked and corrected.

•
The gearshift lever must be in P (Park)
or N (Neutral) in order for the starter
to operate.
• Try operating the starter switch several
times. This operation may clean
potentially corroded contacts or make
the switch temporarily operable until
you can reach the dealer.
• If all electrical connections are tight
and you need assistance to start, See
Jump Starting the Vehicle (page 150).
If engine cranks but won ’t start
Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10
seconds) could cause damage to the
starter motor or the high-pressure fuel
pump.
• Check the fuel gauge. You may be out
of fuel. If the gauge shows that there
is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be
in the electrical system or the fuel
system. If equipped with an auxiliary
tank, be sure that the tank control
switch is set for the tank with fuel and
not on an empty tank.
• Leaving your ignition key turned to on
for over two minutes without starting
may make starting difficult because
the glow plugs will cease activation.
Reset the system by turning the ignition
key to off and then back to on again.
Note: If the system is out of fuel and the
engine will not start, do not continue
cranking the engine. Continued cranking can
damage the high-pressure fuel pump.
If the engine runs hot
The following could cause the engine to
overheat:
• Lack of coolant
• Dirty cooling system.
• Plugged radiator fins, A/C condenser
and/or oil cooler
• Malfunctioning fan drive •
Driving with frozen coolant
• Sticking thermostat
• Overloading or pulling heavy trailers
during 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 and circuit
breakers must always be the same
rating as the original equipment
shown. Never replace a fuse or circuit
breaker with one of a higher rating. Higher
rated fuses or circuit breakers could allow
circuit overloading in the event of a circuit
malfunction, resulting in severe vehicle
damage or personal injury due to fire. Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicate
an electrical short-circuit, although a fuse
may occasionally burn out from vibration.
Insert a second fuse. If this fuse
immediately burns out and you cannot
locate the cause, return your vehicle to
your dealer for a circuit check. See
Changing a Fuse
(page 169).
Selective catalytic reduction system
speed limit and Idle-only modes
If the vehicle ’s speed is limited or in an
idle-only mode, the selective catalytic
reduction system may be limiting the
vehicle ’s functions due to low or
contaminated DEF. Check the DEF. See
Selective Catalytic Reduction System
(page
95).

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle
should stay in the normal operating range
(between L and H). If the needle falls
below the normal range, stop the vehicle,
switch off the engine and check the engine
oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is
correct, have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.
Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and
let the engine cool.
Transmission Fluid Temperature
Gauge
Indicates transmission fluid temperature.
At normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the
transmission fluid temperature exceeds
the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon
as safely possible and verify the airflow is
not restricted such as snow or debris
blocking airflow through the grille.
Special operating conditions, such as
snowplowing, towing or off-road use, can
cause higher than normal operating
temperatures. See Special Operating
Conditions Scheduled Maintenance
(page
328). Operating the transmission for extended
periods with the gauge in the higher than
normal area may cause internal
transmission damage. We recommend
altering the severity of the driving
conditions to lower the transmission
temperature into the normal range. If the
gauge continues to show high
temperatures, contact an authorized
dealer.
Fuel Gauge
Note:
The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge
indicates approximately how much fuel is
in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side
of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F when
you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
vehicle needs service soon.
After refueling, some variability in needle
position is normal:
• It may take a short time for the needle
to reach F after leaving the gas station.
This is normal and depends upon the
slope of pavement at the gas station.
• The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the
gauge indicated. This is normal and
depends upon the slope of pavement
at the gas station.
• If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different
gas pump nozzle.
Gauge Package
