Bio-Diesel Blended Fuel
NOTICE: Never use bio-diesel blended fuel containing more than 5% bio-diesel in this vehicle. See
page 33.
Bio-diesel blended fuel has unique qualities that should be considered before using it in this
vehicle:
• Cold weather conditions can lead to plugged fuel system components and hard starting.
• Bio-diesel blended fuel is an excellent medium for microbial growth and contamination
which can cause corrosion and plugging of fuel system components.
• Use of bio-diesel blended fuel may result in premature failure of fuel system components,
such as plugged fuel filters and deteriorated fuel lines.
• Shorter maintenance intervals may be required, such as cleaning the fuel system and
replacing fuel filters and fuel lines.
• Using bio-diesel blended fuels containing more than five percent (5%) bio-diesel can
affect engine life and cause deterioration of hoses, tubes, injectors, injector pump and
seals.
