GHG17 DD Medium Duty Operators Manual For most recent information go to DDCSN.com ( https://ddcsn- ddc.freightliner.com/cps/rde/xbcr/ddcsn/ Detroit_Bio_Fuel_Position_Statement.pdf ). Prohibited Additives The following fuel additives are not allowed and MUST NOT be mixed with diesel fuel: NOTICE: Do not burn used lubricating oil in fuel. It will cause the diesel particulate filter to prematurely plug with ash. Used Lubricating Oil Do not use fuel blended with used lubricating oil. Detroit™ specifically prohibits the use of used lubricating oil in diesel fuel.
Used lubricating oil contains combustion acids and particulate materials which can severely erode fuel injector components, resulting in loss of power and increased exhaust emissions. In addition, the use of drained lubricating oil will increase maintenance requirements due to filter plugging and combustion deposits. WARNING: FIRE To avoid increased risk of a fuel fire, do not mix gasoline and diesel fuel. NOTICE: Detroit™ will not be responsible for any detrimental effects resulting from adding drained lubricating oil or gasoline to the diesel fuel. Gasoline The addition of gasoline to diesel fuel will create a serious fire hazard.
The presence of gasoline in diesel fuel will reduce fuel cetane number and increase combustion temperatures. Drain and clean tanks which contain a mixture of gasoline and diesel fuel as soon as possible. Fuel Additives with Sulfur or Sulfated Ash Do not use non-approved fuel additives containing sulfur or sulfated ash. How to Replace the Fuel Filters NOTICE: If you have just changed the engine oil and filter, you MUST start the engine and confirm proper oil pressure before changing the fuel filters. If no oil pressure is shown after approximately 10 seconds, stop the engine and determine the cause. Running the engine with no oil pressure could result in engine damage.
Start the engine with the accelerator pedal in the idle position. Monitor the oil pressure gauge or indicator lamp. Keep the engine running at idling speed until the oil pressure reading is 345 kPa (50 psi) or more.
