Fuel used for diesel engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and can be obtained
from filling stations:The use of B20 or B30 fuel
meeting standard EN16709
is possible in your Diesel
engine. However, this use,
even occasional, requires
strict application of the special
servicing conditions referred to
as "Arduous conditions".
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or
diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).
The
only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
-
Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN590 mixed
with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7 % Fatty
Acid Methyl Ester),
-
Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN16734 mixed
with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10 % Fatty
Acid Methyl Ester),
-
Paraf
finic Diesel fuel that
meets standard EN15940
mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214
(possibly containing up
to 7
% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester). For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
