Refueling - Ford 2013 F-650 Owner's Manual

• The fuel system must be primed before attempting to restart the
engine. See your engine operator's manual for instructions on priming
the engine.
• Use caution not to overheat and damage the starter by cranking the
engine for an excessive period of time. You may need to crank the
engine for a longer time than normal. If the engine fails to start in
30 seconds, turn the ignition to the off position and wait for
two minutes before cranking the engine again.
• Any remaining trapped air self-purges from the fuel system once the
engine starts running.
• The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in
the fuel system. This is normal and should stop after a short period of
time.
See General information in the Information Displays chapter for
information on Miles to Empty.

REFUELING

• Turn off your engine when you are refueling.
• Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
• Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel.

when refueling your vehicle - this is against the law in some places.

fuel.
