Information on low outside temperatures
Re fuel your vehicle with as much winter diesel
fuel as possible at the beginning of winter.
Before changing overto winter diesel fuel, the
fuel tank should be em pty, if possible. When first re
fuelling with winter diesel fuel, only refuel
using a small amount, e.g. toreser veleve l. The
fuel tank can be filled as usual when next refuel‐
ling.
Fu rther information on fuel can be obtained at a
