REFUELLING THE CAR
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fu-
el tank opening is too small to insert the
nozzle of a leaded petrol pump. The petrol
octane rating (RON) must not be lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic con-
verter leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalytic con-
verter beyond repair.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots and could clog the diesel fu-
el filter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose speci-
fications are not suitable for the usage
temperature, it is advisable to mix in the
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the pro-
portions shown on the container. Pour
the additive into the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for
a long time in the mountains or cold ar-
eas, it is advisable to refuel using locally
available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the
tank over 50% full.For diesel engines, use only
diesel fuel for motor vehicles
in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The
use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty,
depending on the damage caused. If
you accidentally introduce other types
of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine
has run, even for a very short time, you
will need to have the entire fuel system
emptied in addition to the tank.
