LPG TANK
The car has a (pressurised) tank A fig. 4 9
for collecting LPG in a liquid state. It
is located in the spare wheel
compartment with suitable protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the vehicle registration
date. If the vehicle has been registered
in a country other than Italy, the
duration and the testing/inspection
procedures of the LPG tank can vary
depending on the national laws of that
country. In any case, when the time limit
in the individual country has run out,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
tank replaced.SELECTION OF
PETROL/LPG SUPPLY
TYPE
The (petrol/LPG switch) button A fig. 50
allows drivers to select petrol or LPG
operation.
If, during LPG operation, the same runs
out, the vehicle switches to petrol
automatically and all the bars of the
digital gauge on the display switch off,
next to the LPG warning. This condition
persists until the next LPG refuelling.The engine always starts up on petrol,
with automatic switching to LPG when
the best conditions are achieved
(engine water temperature, minimum
engine rpm limit) for switching to LPG.
SUPPLIES
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (reserve
included): 38.4 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required
for correct priming and it is the
maximum permitted capacity. In
addition, after different refuelling
processes, this figure could vary due to
differences between the network pump
supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank
not completely run out of fuel.

do not start the engine, and drain the
tank. If the engine has run, even for a very
short time, you will need to have the entire
fuel supply system emptied in addition to
the tank.
62)The plates (provided with the vehicle
documents) show the date when the
first cylinder inspection/test is due.
Methane refuelling station operators are
not authorised to refill the cylinders when
the inspection date has expired.
