diesel fuel at any concentration is not recommended and could damage your fuel system and engine. Such damage would not be covered by your
warranty. If there are questions about the biodiesel-containing fuels you are using, contact your fuel supplier.
VERY COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Follow the instructions listed previously under the heading "What Fuel to Use."
NOTICE: Never use home heating oil or gasoline in your diesel engine. They can cause engine damage.
In cold weather, your fuel filter may become clogged (waxed). To unclog it, move the vehicle to a warm garage area and warm the filter to between 32
°F and 50°F (0°C to 10°C). You will not need to replace it.
WATER IN FUEL
CAUTION: Diesel fuel containing water is still flammable. You could be burned. If you ever try to drain water from your fuel, keep sparks,
flames and smoking materials away from the mixture.
NOTICE: If there is water in your diesel fuel and the weather is warm or humid, fungus and bacteria can grow in the fuel. They can damage your fuel
system and fuel operated heater (FOH) (if equipped). A diesel fuel biocide can be used to sterilize your fuel system. However, your fuel system may
still need to be cleaned. Your fuel tank may need to be purged to remove water. Improper purging can damage your fuel system and block your FOH.
Sometimes, water can be pumped into your fuel tank along with your diesel fuel. This can happen if a service station doesn't regularly inspect and
clean its fuel tanks, or if it gets contaminated fuel from its suppliers.
IMPORTANT: The water must be drained from both chassis mounted fuel filters.
