Fuel Oxidation Stability - Must Use Fuel Within

Six Months Of Manufacture

Biodiesel fuel has poor oxidation stability which can

result in long term storage problems. Fuel produced to

approved ASTM standards, if stored properly, provides

for protection against fuel oxidation for up to six months.

Fuel Water Separation - Must Use Mopar/Cummins

Approved Fuel Filter Elements

You must use Mopar/Cummins approved fuel filter

elements in both your engine mounted filter and frame

mounted filter.

Biodiesel fuel has a natural affinity to water and water

accelerates microbial growth. Your Mopar/Cummins fil-

tration system is designed to provide adequate fuel water

separation capabilities.

Bio-Diesel Fuel Properties – Low Ambient

Temperatures

Biodiesel fuel may gel or solidify at low ambient tempera-

tures, which may pose problems for both storage and

operation. Precautions can be necessary at low ambient

temperatures, such as storing the fuel in a heated building

or a heated storage tank, or using cold temperature addi-

tives.

Fuel In Oil Dilution - Must Adhere To Required

Oil Change Interval

Fuel dilution of lubricating oil has been observed with

the use of Biodiesel fuel. Fuel in oil must not exceed 5

percent. To ensure this limit is met your oil change

interval must be maintained to the following schedule:

• Ram PickUp 2500/3500 Only – 15,000 Miles*

• Ram 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab – 12,500 Miles*

(*unless otherwise notified with a oil service message)
