Fuel Quality and Refueling

Fuel Tank

5
Original steel and aluminium fuel tanks
approved by Ford Otosan should be used in
Ford Trucks vehicles.
Using third party fuel tanks other than the
tanks designed and test by Ford Otosan may
render the warranty void for any fault on the
fuel injection system and the vehicle.
CAUTION
The engine of your vehicle is designed to
operate with EURO DIESEL complying with
EN590 standards. Thus, usage of cheap
diesel fuel causes a high risk for the function
of the engine and its components. Usage of
bad quality fuel, also known as cheap diesel
fuel, reduces the power of our engines and
shortens their service life.
We advise using Euro Diesel (complying with
EN 590 standards) to prevent any problem on
the fuel system.
CAUTION
Do not mix petrol in the fuel tank.
Fuel Tank Flap (lockable)
Ford Fuel tank flap opens counter clockwise in
a single action in single-stage. The flap returns
to the position where you will lock it in a single
action in single-stage when turned clockwise.
Cleaning of the fuel tank is essential. Wipe the
flap and surroundings without opening the fuel
filler flap.

CAUTION
Paraffin forms in the cold weathers in fuels
without any precautions.
Paraffin not only clogs the filter elements, but
also clogs the fuel pipes. It is very difficult to
melt the paraffin once it is formed. Therefore,
winter type diesel fuel should be used in the
areas where the weather is always cold in
winter.
Tractor vehicles
An aluminium fuel tank is available on the
right of the vehicle. Vehicles with double
tanks have auxiliary fuel tanks on the left.
