TYPE OF FUEL
Petrol engines
Petrol fuel specification: 95
RON unleaded petrol to EN 228
specification.
The RON value (octane rating) and type of petroleum
(unleaded or leaded) available at garage forecourts, will vary
in different parts of the world. For example, in most European
countries 95 RON unleaded fuel is readily available, but in
other parts of the world fuel supplies may be limited to leaded
or lower octane fuels only.
Before a new car is delivered to the first owner, the engine is
tuned to suit the fuel supplies commonly available in the
market in which the car is to be purchased. However, if the
car is later exported to a different country, or is used to travel
between different territories, you should be aware that the
available fuel supplies may not be compatible with the engine
specification. If in doubt, consult a Rover dealer for advice.
The RON value quoted alongside is a MINIMUM
requirement for the United Kingdom and most European
markets and can be safely exceeded.
IN AN EMERGENCY (and only if the correct fuel is
unavailable), lower octane rated fuel can be used for very
limited periods of moderate, low speed motoring, provided
engine ‘knocking’ does not occur.
Diesel engines
Diesel fuel specification: Good
quality diesel fuel to EN 590
specification.
The quality of diesel fuel can vary in different countries and
only clean, good quality fuel should be used. It is important
that the sulphur content of diesel fuel does not exceed 0.3%.
In Europe, all supplies should be within this limit, but in other
parts of the world, you should check with your supplier.
