Turbo Diesel
Use good quality diesel fuel
from a reputable supplier in
your vehicle. Federal law
requires that you must fuel
this vehicle with Ultra Low
Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel
(15 ppm Sulfur maximum)
and prohibits the use of Low
Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel
(500 ppm Sulfur maximum)
to avoid damage to the
emissions control system.
For most year-round service,
No. 2 diesel fuel meeting
ASTM specification D-975
Grade S15 will provide good
performance. If the vehicle is
exposed to extreme cold
(below 20°F or -7°C), or is
required to operate at
colder-than-normal
conditions for prolonged
periods, use climatized No. 2
diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2
diesel fuel with 50% No. 1
diesel fuel. This will provide
better protection from fuel
gelling or wax-plugging of
the fuel filters. This vehicle is
fully compatible with
biodiesel blends up to 5%
biodiesel meeting ASTM
specification D-975.
