level that reduces the potential to produce ⬙Coking⬙ or ⬙Wet Stacking⬙,
which is common to all diesel engines when idling for extended
periods during cold ambient temperatures.
• F-Super Duty/ E-Series, equipped with the 6.0L diesel engine have a
factory option for Stationary Elevated Idle Control (SEIC) through
dash mounted “Upfitter” switches that will allow the operator to
elevate the idle rpm for extended idle periods, as well as aftermarket
equipment such as PTO operation. This feature must be configured
even if ordered from the factory. See your authorized dealer for
required upfitting.
Operation in snow
Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall or in dry loose snow that may swirl
around the front of the vehicle may feed excessive amounts of snow into
the air intake system. This could plug the air cleaner with snow and
cause the engine to stall and/or lose power.
Refer to Air filter restriction gauge and Engine air filter in the
Instrument Cluster chapter of this supplement for more information.
Operation in standing water
Ingestion of water into the diesel engine can result in immediate and
severe damage to the engine. If driving through water, slow down to
avoid splashing water into the intake. If the engine stalls, and ingestion
of water into the engine is suspected, do not try to restart the engine.
Consult your dealer for service immediately.
Engine block heater (if equipped)
Refer to the Driving chapter in the Owner’s Guide.
DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
If your vehicle is equipped with dual
fuel tanks, you will have a selector
control, located to the right of the
steering wheel, which allows you to
draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel
gauge will display the amount of
fuel in the currently selected tank.
Fuel level indication is delayed for several minutes when the tank
selector switch is actuated. Fuel level indication can be obtained
immediately by turning off and restarting the engine.
