Ram Trucks 2015 Chassis Cab Commercial - Diesel Supplement - Manual (Page 301)

WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending
agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions
and be hazardous or explosive when mixed with
diesel fuel.
CAUTION!
Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the use
of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel system.
NOTE:
• A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel, meeting ASTM
specification D-975 may be used with your Cummins®
diesel engine. (Chassis Cab models not configured
with B20 capability.)
• A maximum blend of 20% biodiesel, meeting ASTM
specification D-7467 may be used with your Cum-
mins® diesel engine. (Pickup models and Chassis Cab
models configured with B20 capability.)
• Use of biodiesel mixture in excess of 20% can nega-
tively impact the fuel filter’s ability to separate water
from the fuel, resulting in high pressure fuel system
corrosion or damage.
• Ethanol blends are not recommended or approved for
use with your Cummins® diesel engine.
• In addition, commercially available fuel additives are
not necessary for the proper operation of your Cum-
mins® diesel engine.
