Fuel System
FUEL FILLING
Use only the recommended fuel! Serious damage to the catalytic
converter will occur if the wrong fuel is used.
Always fill the tank SLOWLY, until the filler nozzle automatically
cuts-off the fuel supply. DO NOT attempt to fill the tank beyond
this point, or spillage could result due to expansion of the fuel.
Petrol engines
The filler tube is designed to accept a narrow filler nozzle, of the
type found on pumps that deliver ONLY unleaded fuel. A flap lies
across the filler neck; insert the nozzle sufficiently to fully open the
flap before filling.
DO NOT fully fill the tank if the vehicle is to be parked in
direct sunlight, or high ambient temperature - expansion of the
fuel could cause spillage.
Diesel engines
The diesel fuel filling system on garage forecourts is designed to fill
at a maximum of 45 litres per minute. Use of commercial vehicle
diesel pumps with a higher fill rate may result in premature pump
cut-off and fuel spillage.
Empty fuel tank
Never allow the car to run out of fuel - the resultant misfire could
destroy the catalytic converter. In the event of the fuel tank
running dry:
•
Petrol engine: Start the engine carefully after refuelling. If the
engine runs unevenly, switch off and contact your MG Rover
dealer before attempting to restart the engine.
•
Diesel engine: The fuel system will prime automatically and the
engine can be started.
