Quality of the fuel used for 
petrol engines 
   
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (con-
taining 10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming 
to European standards EN 228 and 
EN 15376. 
  E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % 
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for ve-
hicles 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 stand-
ard 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 certain 
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject 
to strict application of the special servicing 
conditions. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop. 
  The use of any other type of (bio)fuel 
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited 
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel 
system).

MISFUEL PREVENTION(DIESEL)  *
 
Mechanical device which prevents fi lling 
the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It 
avoids the risk of engine damage that can 
result from fi lling with the wrong fuel. 
  Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel 
prevention device appears when the 
fi ller cap is removed. 
 
 
Operation 
 
When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced 
into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel 
vehicle, it comes into contact with the 
fl ap. The system remains closed and 
prevents fi lling. 
   
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel 
type fi ller nozzle. 
 
   It remains possible to use a fuel 
can to fi ll the tank.  
In order to ensure a good fl ow  of 
fuel, do not place the nozzle of the 
fuel can in direct contact with the 
fl ap of the misfuel prevention de-
vice and pour slowly. 
   
 
Travelling abroad 
  As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may 
be different in other countries, the 
presence of the misfuel prevention 
device may make refuelling impos-
sible. 
  Before travelling abroad, we rec-
ommend that you check with the 
PEUGEOT dealer network, wheth-
er your vehicle is suitable for the 
fuel pumps in the country in which 
you want to travel.
