Jeep Wrangler: FUEL REQUIREMENTS – DIESEL ENGINE / Diesel Fuel Specifications
This diesel engine has been developed to take
advantage of the high energy content and
generally lower cost No. 2 Ultra Low Sulfur
diesel fuel or No. 2 Ultra Low Sulfur climatized
diesel fuels.
NOTE:
- If you accidentally fill the fuel tank with gasoline
on your diesel vehicle, do not start the
engine. Damage to the engine and fuel
system could occur. Please call an authorized
dealer for service.
- A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting
ASTM specification D-975 may be used with
your diesel engine without any adjustments
to regular service schedules.
- Commercially available fuel additives are not
necessary for the proper operation of your
diesel engine.
- No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel should only
be used where extended arctic conditions
(-10°F or -23°C) exist.
Federal law requires that you must fuel this
vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel
fuel (15 ppm Sulfur maximum) and prohibits
the use of Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel
(500 ppm Sulfur maximum) to avoid damage to
the emissions control system...
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting
ASTM specification D975 is recommended for
use with your diesel engine. If frequent
operation with Biodiesel blends that are
between 6% and 20% (B6–B20) is desired, the
maintenance schedule is subject to shorter
intervals...
Other information:
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II. This
system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and transmission control
systems. When these systems are operating
properly, your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current
government regulations...
If the engine fails to start after you have
followed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold
Weather” procedure, it may be flooded. Push
the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and
hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than
15 seconds...
