Fuel - petrol
Petrol is used as fuel.
Only use petrol from well-known producers.
Never use fuel of dubious quality. Petrol must
fulfil the EN 228 standard if this is available.
•
95 RON can be used for normal driving.
•
98 RON is recommended for optimum
performance and minimum fuel consump-
tion.
When driving in temperatures above +38 °C,
fuel with the highest possible octane rating is
recommended for optimum performance and
fuel economy.
IMPORTANT
•
Use only unleaded petrol to avoid
damaging the catalytic converter.
•
Fuel containing metallic additives must
not be used.
•
Do not use any additives which have
not been recommended by Volvo.
Alcohols-ethanol
IMPORTANT
•
Fuel that contains up to
10 percent by volume ethanol is per-
mitted.
•
EN 228 E10 petrol (max
10 percent by volume ethanol) is
approved for use.
•
Ethanol higher than E10 (max
10 percent by volume ethanol) is not
permitted. T.ex. E85 is not permitted.

Fuel - diesel
Diesel is used as fuel.
Only use diesel fuel from well-known produc-
ers. Never use fuel of dubious quality. Diesel
engines are sensitive to contaminants in the
fuel such as metals and a high volume of sul-
phur.
At low temperatures (-6 °C to -40 °C), a par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which may lead to ignition problems. Special
diesel fuel designed for low temperatures
around freezing point is available from the
major oil companies. This fuel is less viscous
at low temperatures and reduces the risk of
paraffin precipitate.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is
reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When
refuelling, check that the area around the fuel
filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the
paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-
gent and water.
IMPORTANT
Diesel fuel must:
•
fulfil the EN 590 and/or SS 155435
standards
•
have a sulphur content not exceeding
10 mg/kg
•
have a maximum of 7 vol % FAME
(Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
