Operation
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.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of e ngine 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.
It
remains possible to use a fuel can to
f
ill the tank.
In
order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
d
o not place the nozzle of the fuel can
i
n direct contact with the flap of the
m
isfuel prevention device and pour
s
l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the
p
resence of the misfuel prevention
d
evice may make refuelling impossible.
Before
travelling abroad, we
r
ecommend that you check with the
C
ITROËN dealer network, whether your
v
ehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
t
he country in which you want to travel.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t
the
engine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that c
uts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.

E85
type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
a
re reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
f
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 available at the pumps which meet
c
urrent and future European standards:
-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN 590
m
ixed with a biofuel that meets
s
tandard EN 14214,
-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN16734
m
ixed with a biofuel that meets
s
tandard EN14214 (possibly containing up
t
o 10 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
-
P
araffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard
E
N15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets
s
tandard EN14214 (possibly containing up
t
o 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).The
use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard E
N16709 is possible in your Diesel engines.
H
owever, this use, even occasional, requires
s
trict application of the special servicing
c
onditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
F
or more information, 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).
Only
the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet
t
he standard B715000 is authorised.
