ECU FORD SUPER DUTY 2013 3.G Diesel Supplement Manual

Filling the DEF tank
WARNING:Make sure that DEF does not come into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing. Should DEF contact your eyes, flush
them with plenty of water and contact a physician. Clean affected skin
with soap and water. If DEF is swallowed, drink plenty of water and
contact a physician immediately.
WARNING:Refill DEF in a well-ventilated area. When opening
the cap on the DEF tank or bottle containing DEF, ammonia
vapors may escape. The vapors can be irritating to skin, eyes and
mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapors can cause burning to the
eyes, throat and nose and cause coughing and watery eyes.
Note:Do not put DEF in the fuel tank. This can cause engine damage
not covered by your vehicle’s warranty.
Note:Immediately wipe away any DEF that has spilled on painted
surfaces with water and a damp cloth to prevent damage to the paint.
Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF tank with a blue-capped filler port
located next to the diesel fuel fill inlet. The tank can be filled using a
nozzle at a DEF filling station (similar to fuel fill) or using a DEF bottle
with a spout. Motorcraft® DEF bottles are recommended as they are
designed to be spill proof and will stop the flow of DEF when the tank is
full. Other aftermarket bottles can be used, but they should have a seal
on the spout and an internal vent tube to achieve best fill performance
and prevent overfilling. Overfilling your DEF tank can cause damage to
the tank. For DEF capacity, see theCapacities and Specifications
chapter.
You can purchase DEF at your authorized dealer, most highway truck
stops or you can contact roadside assistance for help in finding a retailer
that sells DEF. See theCustomer Assistancechapter in theOwner’s
Manualfor more information. In addition, there is a government website
locator for DEF at the following web address that can be used to find the
nearest location to purchase DEF: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/
