• 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.
Intervention Regeneration Strategy — Message
Process Flow
The Cummins® diesel engine meets all EPA Heavy Duty
Diesel Engine Emissions Standards, resulting in one of
the lowest emitting diesel engines ever produced.
To achieve these emissions standards, your vehicle is
equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust
system. The engine and exhaust after-treatment system
work together to achieve the EPA Heavy Duty Diesel
Engine Emissions Standards. These systems are seam-
lessly integrated into your vehicle and managed by the
Cummins® Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM manages engine combustion to allow the exhaust
system’s catalyst to trap and burn Particulate Matter
(PM) pollutants, with no input or interaction on your
part.
Additionally, your vehicle has the ability to alert you to
additional maintenance required on your truck or engine.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”
or “Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
