Running Out Of Fuel - Ford EVEREST 2015 Owner's Manual

Note: We do not recommend the use of
additional additives or other engine
treatments for normal vehicle use.
Note: We do not recommend the use of
additional additives to prevent fuel waxing.
Biodiesel Usage
WARNING
Do not use raw oils, fats or waste
cooking greases, these are not
biodiesel.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with
biodiesel blends up to 10% (B10). You can
achieve acceptable engine performance
and durability using B10 by adhering to the
below guidelines.
Note: Use B10 fuel that meets the
equivalent specification defined by EN 590
or the relevant national specification, from
a trusted fuel supplier.
Note: The B10 fuel used should be
dispensed from a service station pump
labelled in accordance with the
requirements of national regulations.
Note: If your vehicle experiences low
temperature fuel waxing issues, consider
using different diesel brands or diesel with
lower biodiesel content.
Long-Term Storage
Do not leave vehicles filled with B10 fuels
parked for more than 1 month. Diesel fuels
containing biodiesel can degrade quickly
when stored for long periods of time,
especially when exposed to warm and
humid conditions. It is recommended to fill
the tank with purely mineral diesel (where
available). Alternatively, we recommend
that you seek advice from your dealer.
