Biodiesel - Ford Diesel 2012 Supplement Manual

Maintenance and Specifications
Use only a diesel engine that has been configured for use with
high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with diesel fuel that has sulfur
content greater than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16–500
ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel
engine designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel may
result in damage to engine emission control devices and the
aftertreatment system, potentially rendering the vehicle
inoperable. Engine damage from using the improper type of fuel
is not covered under your warranty.
Vehicles with engines configured for use with high sulfur diesel fuel will
only be made available for sale in countries where ULSD fuel is generally
not available or mandated by the government. Vehicles originally sold in
a ULSD fuel market that are subsequently exported to non-ULSD fuel
markets will need to be retrofitted (at the customer's expense using Ford
authorized dealer service parts) in order to be reliably operated on
non-ULSD fuel.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperature. For best results
at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel
fuel which has been seasonally adjusted for the ambient temperature.
See Cold weather operation in the Driving chapter of this supplement.

BIODIESEL

This vehicle may be operated on diesel fuels containing up to 20%
biodiesel, also known as B20.
To help achieve acceptable engine performance and durability when
using biodiesel in your vehicle:
• Confirm the biodiesel content of the fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or
less.
• Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality that complies with industry
standards.
• Follow the recommended service maintenance intervals section in the
Schedule Maintenance chapter.
• Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel tank for more than 1 month.
• Consider changing brands or reducing biodiesel content if you have
cold temperature fuel gelling issues or a frequent LOW FUEL
PRESSURE message appearing.
• Do not use raw oils, fats or waste cooking greases.
Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater than 20% may cause damage
to your vehicle, including engine and/or exhaust after-treatment
