Fuel Tank

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. Use of bad fuel known as
cheap fuel oil
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
reduce the service life and power of our
engines. 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 Quality and Refuelling

CAUTION
Paraffi n forms in the cold weathers in
fuels without any precautions.
Paraffi n not only clogs the fi lter
elements, but also clogs the fuel pipes. It
is very diffi cult to melt the paraffi n once
it is formed. Therefore, winter type diesel
fuel should be used in the areas where
the weather is always cold in winter.
Your vehicle is suitable for using with a fuel
with a bio-diesel ratio of 7% (B7).
