Your vehicle has a 25.1 gallon (95 liter) fuel tank capacity. Depending on your vehicle, your fuel requirements vary based on engine configuration. Refer to the Capacities and Specifications chapter in your Owner's Manual for more details.
Flex fuel vehicles have one of the following and can use either regular unleaded fuel or E85 ethanol fuel:
It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and E85. If you do switch fuels, it is recommended that you add as much fuel as possible—at least half a tank. Do not add less than 5 gallons (18.9 liters) when refueling. Drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at least 5 miles (8 kilometers) to allow the vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol concentration. If you exclusively use E85 fuel, we recommend that you ll the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
If you do not have a ex fuel vehicle, then use only regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. To provide improved performance for severe duty usage, such as trailer towing, we recommend premium fuel. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle is not designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
The jack is under the passenger seat. The jack handle and lug wrench are behind a cover in the sidewall of the front-passenger step. Your spare wheel and tire are under the vehicle. The spare tire is designed for emergency use only and should be replaced as soon as possible.

Ford recommends that you use only the diesel fuels that meet either the ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications.
The system helps reduce carbon emissions and requires the completion of periodic drives to clean it. The information display will prompt you to complete an operator-commanded regeneration procedure. Failure to comply with the required cleaning procedure maintenance can result in damage to the diesel particulate filter system that may not be covered under your warranty. See your Owner's Manual for more information.
To help reduce emission levels from the exhaust of the diesel engine, your vehicle has a selective catalytic reduction system that relies on diesel exhaust fluid to operate properly. The selective catalytic reduction system automatically injects diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to enable proper selective catalytic reduction system function. The diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) tank ller neck is next to the fuel filler neck and has a blue cap. Fill the tank using a fluid pump at a diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) filling station or from a diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) container. The capacity of the diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) tank is 5.8 gallons (22 liters). See the Fuel and Refueling chapter in your Owner's Manual for more information.
