Silverado 3500 2WD V8-6.6L DSL Turbo (2006)
WATER IN FUEL
Sometimes, water can be pumped into the fuel tank along with diesel fuel. This can happen if the service station does not regularly inspect and clean
their fuel tanks, or the fuel gets contaminated for the service stations suppliers.
If water is pumped into the fuel tank, a water in fuel light will illuminate. If the water in fuel light illuminates, the excess water must be drained from
the fuel system on the vehicle.
VERY COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the vehicle is driven in very cold temperatures and can not get a winterized Number 2-D that has been adapted to cold weather or a Number 1-D,
use one gallon of kerosene for every 2 gallons of diesel fuel. Once you add kerosene, run the engine for several minutes to mix the fuels. Only add
kerosene when the temperature falls below -18°C (0°F), because the fuel economy and lubricating qualities of kerosene is not as good as that of diesel
fuel.
In cold weather , the fuel filter may become clogged (waxed). To unclog the filter, move the vehicle to a warm garage area and warm the filter to a
temperature between 0-10°C (32-50°F). Replacing the filter is not necessary.
