Fuel 243
Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical Data
Diesel fuel mixture according to standard CSN 65 6508 from
02/2003 contains diesel fuel according to standard DIN EN 590 and a
concentration of biofuel (rape oil methyl ester) according to standard
DINEN14214 in the following two concentrations:
5% share of biofuel RME according to the standard DINEN14214
- Denomination SMN 5,
30% share of biofuel RME according to the standard
DINEN14214 - Denomination SMN 30.
The same principles apply for the diesel fuel mixture as for the biofuel
⇒ page 243.
Fuel additives
You must not use fuel additives, so-called “flow improvers” (petrol and
similar products) in diesel fuel.
It is then necessary to have the fuel filter drained of water by a Škoda
dealer more often than stated in the Service schedule if the quality of the
diesel fuel used is poor.
You can find information on refuelling ⇒ page 245, “Refuelling”.
Caution
• Use a fuel complying with the standard. Filling the tank even only once,
which does not comply with the standard, can result in damage to the fuel
system.
• Water which has collected in the fuel filter can result in engine
problems.
Biofuel*
The possibility to refuel with biofuel only applies to vehi-
cles, which have been adapted at the factory for its use.
Biofuel (RME rape oil methyl ester fuel) must comply with the DIN EN
14 214 ⇒ .
Biofuel (methyl ester from rape oil) is manufactured from vegetable oil by
means of a chemical process.
Biofuel does not contain sulphur. This means that no sulphur dioxide
(SO
2
) is produced when it is burnt.
The exhaust gases contain less:
• carbon monoxide (CO),
• hydrocarbons (HC),
• particles (soot).
than when operating with conventional diesel fuel.
The Biofuel is more biodegradable.
When using biofuel pay attention to the following points:
• The Performance may be reduced slightly if you switch to driving with
biofuel.
• The fuel consumption may increase slightly if you switch to driving
with biofuel.
We recommend refuelling with diesel fuel at temperatures below -10°C.
Biofuel conforming to DIN EN 14 214 can be mixed in any desired ratio
with diesel fuel conforming to the standard DIN EN 590.
