E172245

The diesel exhaust fluid tank filler neck is
located below the fuel filler neck and has
a blue cap. Fill the tank using a fluid pump
at a diesel exhaust fluid filling station or a
diesel exhaust fluid container. We
recommend Motorcraft® diesel exhaust
fluid, the containers are spill proof and stop
the flow of fluid when the tank is full. The
capacity of the diesel exhaust fluid tank is
21 liters.

You must only use diesel exhaust fluid that
is certified by the American Petroleum
Institute (API).

Note:

You must open the fuel filler door

before you can open the diesel exhaust fluid
filler door.

Note:

Immediately wash off any diesel

exhaust fluid that has spilled on to a painted
surface with soapy water.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank
Using a Fuel Station Pump

Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using
a pump is similar to a refuelling your
vehicle. The diesel exhaust fluid pump
nozzle will shut off automatically when the
tank is full.

Note:

Some filling stations utilize a

magnetic mechanism in the pump nozzle
that may prevent refilling the diesel exhaust
fluid tank. To overcome this issue you will
need to locate another filling station or use
a refill container.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank
Using a Container

The following procedure applies to
Motorcraft diesel exhaust fluid or similar
fluid containers. Always follow the
manufacturer's instructions.

1.

Remove the diesel exhaust fluid
container cap. Place the spout on to
the container and tighten it until you
feel a strong resistance.

2. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank

filler cap.

3. Insert the spout in to the filler neck until

the seal on the spout seats on to the
filler neck. Pour the fluid in to the tank.
When the tank is full the fluid will stop
flowing automatically.

4. Return the container to the vertical

position slightly below the diesel
exhaust fluid filler neck. Allow any fluid
remaining in the spout to drain back in
to the container.

5. Remove the spout from the diesel

exhaust fluid filler neck. Replace the
diesel exhaust fluid tank cap.
