WARNING Risk of fire or explosion from
electrostatic charge
Electrostatic charge can create sparks and
thereby ignite fuel vapours.
#
Before you open the fuel filler cap or
take hold of the pump nozzle, touch the
metallic vehicle body.
This discharges any electrostatic charge
that may have built up.
#
Do not get into the vehicle again during
the refuelling process.
Otherwise, electrostatic charge could
build up again.
& WARNING Risk of fire from fuel mixture
Vehicles with a diesel engine:
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of the fuel mixture is lower than that of
pure diesel fuel.
While the engine is running, component
parts in the exhaust system may overheat
without warning.
#
Never refuel using petrol.
#
Never mix petrol with diesel fuel.
* NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel
Vehicles with a petrol engine:
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system, the
engine and the emission control system.
#

fuel that conforms to European EN 228,
or an equivalent specification.
#
