Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
syste m).
The only Diesel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine
of your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a
par ticular fuel may be required
(specific octane rating, specific sales
name, etc.) to ensure correct operation
of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a
dealer.
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and which can be
obtained from filling stations:
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).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940
mixed with a biofuel
that meets standard EN14214
(possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester). The use of B20
or B30
fuel that meets
the standard EN16709
is possible
with your Diesel engine. However, this
use, even occasional, requires strict
application of the special ser vicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".
