Special features of BioFlex
engines
A BioFlex vehicle has been designed
to run on unleaded petrol (RON 95 or
RON 98) or ethanol (this is a mixture
containing 85% ethanol and 15% un-
leaded petrol, called E85).
So, regardless of the quantity of fuel
remaining in your tank and irrespec-
tive of its type (RON 95/RON 98, E85
or a mixture of the two), you can fi ll
your tank at any time with unleaded
petrol (RON 95 or RON 98) or ethanol
(E85).
There is no problem driving on unlea-
ded petrol only with this vehicle. In winter conditions, star-
ting the engine from cold may
sometimes prove diffi cult.
During these very cold periods
you are advised to use unleaded pet-
rol rather than E85 to ensure optimum
starting conditions.
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10% ethanol), conforming
to European standards EN 228 and
EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85%
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this
type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The
quality of the ethanol must comply with
European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100% ethanol (E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-
luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-
hibited (risk of damage to the engine
and fuel system).
