Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10 % ethanol), conforming
to European standards EN 228 and
EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in
certain Diesel engines; however, this
use is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).
Mechanical device which prevents lling
the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It
avoids the risk of engine damage that can
result from lling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
ller cap is removed.
MISFUEL PREVENTION
Operation
When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced
into the fuel ller neck of your Diesel
vehicle, it comes into contact with the
ap. The system remains closed and
prevents fi lling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to ll
the reservoir.
In order to ensure a good ow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the ap of the misfuel
prevention device.
This equipment will become available
during the year.
