Contact a PEUGEOT dealer. FILLING WITH FUEL 1.6 litre 16V BioFlex engine
Your BioFlex vehicle is an adapt-
able vehicle. It has been designed to
run equally well on unleaded petrol
(RON 95 or RON 98) or ethanol (in
Europe, this is a mixture containing
85 % ethanol and 15 % unleaded
petrol, referred to as E85).
So, irrespective of the quantity of fuel
remaining in your tank and regard-
less of the type of fuel (unleaded
petrol, E85 or a mixture of the two),
y o u c a n i l l y o u r t a n k a t a n y t i m e w i t h
unleaded petrol (RON 95 or RON 98)
or ethanol E85.
This vehicle will run on unleaded
petrol only without experiencing any
problems.
In wintry conditions, starting
the engine from cold may
s o m e t i m e s p r o v e d i f i c u l t .
During these very cold peri-
ods, it is advisable to favour unleaded
petrol to guarantee optimum starting
conditions.
