Fuel filler flap
Fuel filler flap location A small arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates which side of the vehicle
the fuel filler flap is located.
Fuel filler flap opening
With the vehicle unlocked, pull the flap (as
arrowed in the illustration) to open.
Refuelling
The filler cap is secured to the vehicle by a
strap. For your conv enience, a holder is
provided, on the fuel filler flap, to hook the
strap over while refuelling.
After refuelling, tighten the filler cap until it
clicks three times. Fuel tank capacity
Fuel specification
The correct fuel specification for your vehicle is
shown on the inside of the fuel filler flap. See
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (page 146).
Incorrect fuelling
Operating note
The fuel filler flap will not open if the vehicle is
locked.

CAUTIONS
Land Rover petrol engines are not fitted
with equipment necessary for use of
fuels containing more than 10 percent ethanol.
Do not use E85 fuels (85 percent ethanol
content). If E85 fuels are used, serious
engine and fuel system damage will occur.
CAUTION
If the fuel tank is accidentally filled with
the wrong type of fuel, it is essential that
the engine is not starte d and you seek qualified
assistance.

Fuel and refuellingSAFETY PRECAUTIONS FUEL QUALITY
Petrol engined vehicles
Octane rating
The minimum octane rating for fuel used is 91
RON. The vehicle will run on lower ratings, but
it may cause pronounced engine knock or
pinking. If the pinking is severe it can cause
damage to the engine, fuel, and emission
control systems.
Note: Occasional, light , engine knock
experienced while accelera ting or climbing hills
is acceptable.
WARNINGS
Petroleum gasses are highly
flammable, have a low flash point, and
are explosive, especially in confined
spaces. Avoid exposing the gasses to any
potential sources of ignition as the resulting
fire and explosion may cause serious injuries
and/or death.
Only use containe rs specifically
designed for carrying fuel, and alway
remove them from the vehicle to fill
them. Failure to do so may result in spillage,
and cause a fire.
Switch off the engine when refuelling,
as it is both a source of extreme
temperatures, and electrical sparks.
The resulting fire a nd explosion may cause
serious injury and death.
Switch off any personal electronic
devices such as mobile phones, or
music players. They have the potential
to cause electrical sparks. The resulting fire
and explosion may caus e serious injury and
death.
Do not smoke, use a naked flame, or
cause sparks. The resulting fire and
explosion may caus e serious injury
and death.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Overfilling
may cause spillage when the vehicle is
driven. Spillage may also occur if the
fuel expands in high ambient temperatures.
CAUTIONS
Do not use leaded fuels, lead
substitutes, or fuel additives. Doing so
can cause damage to the engine, fuel,
and emission control systems.
Only use high quality petrol, as using
lower quality fuels ca n cause damage to
the engine, fuel, and emission control
systems.
Fuel system cleaning agents should not
be used, unless approved by Land
Rover. Unapproved products may be
harmful to fuel system components on your
vehicle.

Fuel and refuelling
R
Alternative fuels for petrol engines
Ethanol
Fuels containing up to 10% Ethanol (grain
alcohol) may be used. Ensure that the fuel has
octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers
will not notice any opera ting difference with
fuel containing Ethanol . If a difference is
detected, the use of c onventional unleaded fuel
should be resumed.
Methanol
Some fuels contain Methanol (Methyl or wood
alcohol). If you use fuel s containing Methanol
the fuels must also contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors for Methanol. Also, do not
use fuels which contain more than 3%
Methanol even if they contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems resulting from
the use of such fuels is not the responsibility of
Land Rover, and may not be covered under the
warranty. Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)
Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known
as MTBE can be used provided that the ratio of
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound
derived from Petroleum, which has been
specified by several refi ners as the substance
to enhance the Octane rating of fuel.
Reformulated gasoline
Several petroleum companies have announced
the availability of refo rmulated fuels. These
fuels are specially formulated to further reduce
vehicle emissi ons. Land Rover fully supports
all efforts to protect and maintain ambient air
quality, and encour ages the use of
reformulated gasoline where available.
Diesel engined vehicles
Note: Land Rover vehicle's are capable of
running with up to a 5% blend of bio-diesel in
accordance with European Standard EN590.
Sulphur content
The Sulphur content of diesel used in Land
Rover vehicles shoul d not exceed 0.3%.
In some countries dies el will contain higher
levers of Sulphur, whic h will require reduced
service intervals to reduce the effects on
engine components. If in doubt contact a local
Land Rover Dealer/Aut horised Repairer for
advice.
CAUTIONS
This vehicle is not suitable for use with
fuels containing more than 10%
Ethanol.
Do not use E85 fuels (85% Ethanol
content). Equipment necessary for the
use of fuels containing more than 10%
Ethanol is not fitted to this vehicle. If E85 fuels
are used, serious engine and fuels system
damage will occur.
CAUTION
Wherever possible avoid using fuel
containing Methanol.

L
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a
minimum of 4 litres (0 .8 gallons) will be
required to restart the engine. The vehicle will
need to be driven 1.6-5 km (1-3 miles) in order
to reset the engine management and
monitoring systems.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
FUEL CUT-OFF
The fuel system cut-off forms part of the
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) fitted
to your vehicle. Following an impact, and
depending on the severity, the fuel pump may
be switched off.
Resetting the fuel cut-off
1. Switch the ignition off and wait for one
minute.
2. Turn the ignition on for 30 seconds.
3. Check the vehicle thor oughly for fuel leaks.
If a leak is detected switch the ignition off
immediately.
• Do not start the vehicle if a leak is
present. Seek qualifi ed advice, and have
the vehicle recovered.
4. If no leaks are detected, start the vehicle.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
The fuel filler flap is located on the right-hand
side of the vehicle, at the rear.
1. Ensure that the vehicle is fully unlocked,
and pull the fuel filler flap open.
2. Twist the cap anti-clockwise to undo.
• Ensure that you re ad, understand, and
fully comply with all warnings and
instructions given on the label affixed to
the inside of the fuel filler flap.
3. Use the retaining clip to keep the filler cap
out of the way whilst fuelling.
CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel. Doing so can
cause damage to the vehicle's engine,
fuel, and emission control systems.
WARNING
The fuel cut-off s hould never be reset
if you can smell fuel , or a leak can be
seen. Doing so can lead to a fire which
may cause personal injury or death.
WARNINGS
Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
allow the pressure to release before
fully removing the cap to avoid fuel
spillage due to rapid expansion.

REFUELLING
Fuel filler
Note: Filling station pumps used for diesel
commercial vehicles deliver fuel at a higher
rate than normal. The hi gher fill rate can cause
premature cut-off, and may cause fuel spillage.
Therefore it is recommended that only
standard light vehicle pumps are used.
Take note of all warnings and
instructions given on the label affixed
to the inside of the filler flap. Failure to
do so may result in injury or death.
WARNINGS
When refuelling ensure that all
windows, doors, and sunroof are fully
closed, particularly if young children
or animals are in the vehicle. Fuel vapour
contains harmful chem ical compounds, some
of which may cause cancer.
Do not attempt to fill the tank to its
maximum capacity. If the vehicle is to
be parked on a slope, in direct
sunlight, or high ambient temperature,
expansion of the fuel could cause spillage.
Filling station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel
spillage. Fill the tank sl owly until the filler
nozzle automatically cuts -off the supply. Do
not attempt to fill the tank beyond this point.
WARNINGS
E82221
CAUTIONS
Ensure that you check the fuel pump
information carefully to ensure that you
are putting the correct fuel into the
vehicle. Filling a vehicle with the incorrect fuel
can cause serious engi ne and fuel system
damage.
If the vehicle is filled with incorrect fuel
it is essential that you seek qualified
assistance before you start the engine.
Running the engine can cause serious engine
and fuel system damage.
