Fuel used for petrol

The petrol engines are compatible with E

onforming   to   European   standards   EN   228  
and
  EN   15376.

or   the   use   of   this   type   of   fuel   (BioFlex  
v

ehicles).   The   quality   of   the   ethanol   must  
c

omply   with   European   standard   EN   15293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels   which   conform   to   current   and   future  
E

uropean   standards   (Diesel   fuel   which  
c

omplies   with   standard   EN   590   mixed   with   a  
b

iofuel   which   complies   with   standard  
EN
  14214)   available   at   the   pumps   (containing  
u

p   to   7   %   Fatty   Acid   Methyl   Ester).
B30
  biofuel   can   be   used   in   certain   Diesel  
e

ngines.   However,   this   use,   even   occasional,  
r

equires   strict   application   of   the   special  
s

ervicing   conditions.   Contact   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
The
  use   of   any   other   type   of   (bio)fuel  
(

vegetable   or   animal   oils,   pure   or   diluted,  
d

omestic   fuel...)   is   strictly   prohibited   (risk   of  
d

amage   to   the   engine   and   fuel   system).
The
 
petrol
 
or
 
Diesel
 
engine
 
of
 
your
 
vehicle
 
is
 f
itted with a catalytic converter, a device which
helps
 
to
 
reduce
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
harmful
 
emissions

For petrol engines, the use of unleaded fuel
is compulsory.

only.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device w hich cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision. If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the tank
drained and refilled with the correct
fuel before you star t the engine.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine   damage   that   can   result   from   filling   with   the   wrong   fuel.
Located
  in   the   filler   neck,   the   misfuel   prevention   device   appears   when   the   filler   cap   is   removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel
  filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes  
i

nto   contact   with   the   flap.   The   system   remains  
c

losed   and   prevents   filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.

in direct contact with the flap of the

Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the
presence
  of   the   misfuel   prevention  
d

evice   may   make   refuelling   impossible.
Before
  travelling   abroad,   we

ecommend   that   you   check   with   the  
C

ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether   your  
v

ehicle   is   suitable   for   the   fuel   pumps   in
