FILLING THE TANK ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 3.3
TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
In the chapter “Technical Data” and on
the inside of the tank flap you will find
information on the correct octane rating
for your engine.
General notes
•
Unleaded petrol must comply with
DIN EN
1)
228 and leaded petrol with
DIN 51 600.
•
If, in an emergency, the octane rating of
the available petrol is lower than that
required by the engine, only drive with
medium engine speeds and low engine
loading. High engine loading with full
throttle or high revs can cause engine
damage. Fill tank with petrol of the cor-
rect octane rating as soon as possible.
•
Fuel with a higher octane rating than
that required by the engine can be used
without limitation. There are, however, no
advantages regarding output and con-
sumption.
❀
On vehicles with catalytic con-
verter only unleaded petrol may
be used.
❀
Even one tankful of leaded petrol
will detract from the efficiency of
the catalytic converter.
❀
In the interests of our environ-
ment unleaded petrol should be
used whenever possible, even on
vehicles without a catalytic converter.
See chapter “Filling the tank”.

Petrol additives
The quality of the fuel has a decisive influ-
ence upon the running behavior, perfor-
mance and service life of the engine. The
additives which are mixed into the petrol
are of particular significance. It is there-
fore advisable only to use good quality
petrol containing additives.
