2018 Peugeot 208 fuel tank capacity

107
Fuel tank
Tank capacity:
- around 50
litres (petrol).
-
around 50
litres (Diesel).
-
around 45


litres (BlueHDi Diesel).
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
in the fuel tank, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Approximately 5


litres of fuel
remain in the tank. When the
warning lamp flashes, ver y little
fuel remains in the tank.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the corresponding section.
Refilling
A sticker on the inner face of the filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type. The key cannot be removed from the lock
until the filler cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing
of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
F
Y

a finger at the cut-out 1
.

litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Practical information

AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in
a
special tank holding about
17

litres (1.6

BlueHDi engines) or
15

litres (1.5

BlueHDi engines).
Its capacity allows a

driving range of around
5,600

miles (9,000

km), which may vary
considerably depending on your driving style.
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6

standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a

system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a

Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6

standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a

confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a

qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after travelling a
distance
of 685

miles (1,100 km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators , refer to the
corresponding sections. Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a
heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reser ve level is reached: you can then drive
for a

further 1,500

miles (2,400

km) before the
tank is empty.
