Fuel selectionE00200102907Recommended
fuelCetane number (EN590) 51 or higherCAUTIONlYour vehicle is designed to use only diesel
fuel that meets the EN590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would
adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.NOTEl Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity
of the fuel decreases considerably as the
temperature falls.
Because of this fact there are two kinds of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac- cordance with ambient temperature. Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service sta- tions.NOTEl Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits to
form in the injector, resulting in black smoke
and rough idling.
If these problems occur, you are advised to add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuelwhen you refuel the vehicle.
The additive will break up and remove the
deposits, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition.
Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For de- tails, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Filling the fuel tank
E00200202025WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
l Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of the car or the
fuel pump. Any static electricity on your body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapour.WARNINGl Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov- ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do notlet any other person come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you and that person was carrying static
electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for exam-
ple, cleaning your windscreen) partway through the refueling process, you could
pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.

Type 1
1.Loosen the air plug (A) at the top of the
fuel filter.
2. Pump the hand pump (B) until there are
no more bubbles in the fuel coming out
of the air plug (A). When doing this, place a cloth around the air plug (A) toprevent the escaping fuel from spraying
out.
3. Tighten the air plug (A) when there are
no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump
(B) becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is no
leakage of fuel.
If in doubt, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist for necessary informa- tion.
Type 2, 3
Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of the fuel filter until the hand pump becomes stiff.Then try again to start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the process
above.
Type 2Type 3
CAUTIONl Do not smoke or have any other open flame
near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel sys-
tem.
l Be sure to carefully clean away any spilt fuel
which could ignite and cause a fire.Removal of water from the
fuel filter E00800801437
If the fuel filter indication lamp in the instru-ment panel illuminates during driving, it indi-
cates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as de-
scribed below.

Page 315 of 418

Type 1, 2
1.Loosen the drain plug (A) of the fuel fil-
ter.
2. Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6 or 7
times in order to force the water out
through the drain plug (A).
3. Tighten the drain plug (A) when water
no longer comes out.
4. Bleed the air in the fuel system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” onpage 8-05.)
5. Check to be sure that the fuel filter indi-
cation lamp illuminates when the igni- tion switch is turned to “ON”, and that it
goes off when the engine is started. If in
doubt, we recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary information.
CAUTIONl Do not smoke or have any other open flame
near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel sys- tem.CAUTIONl Be sure to carefully clean away any water
drained out because any fuel mixed with the
water could ignite and cause a fire.
Type 3
Take your vehicle to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to re-
move the water from the fuel filter.
