Fuel Filling
FUEL FILLING
EMPTY FUEL TANK
Petrol engine vehicles
WARNING
In the case of petrol engine vehicles equipped
with a catalytic converter, running the fuel tank
dry could create an engine misfire capable
of damaging the catalytic converter. DO NOT
RUN THE FUEL TANK DRY!
DO NOT attempt to fill the tank to its maximum
capacity. If the vehicle is to be parked on a
slope, in direct sunlight, or high ambient
temperature, expansion of the fuel could
cause spillage.
Diesel engine vehicles
After running the fuel tank dry, refuel the tank
with at least 1 gallon (4.5 litres) of diesel fuel,
then carry out the following procedure:
Filling station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel spillage.
Fill the tank SLOWLY until the filler nozzle
automatically cuts-off the supply. DO NOT
attempt to fill the tank beyond this point or
spillage could result due to expansion of the
fuel.
1.
Turn off the starter switch and wait for 15
seconds.
2.
Turn the starter key to position ‘II’ and wait
for 30 seconds.
3.
4.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 six times.
After the final 30 second period, fully
depress the accelerator pedal.
Keeping the pedal depressed, start
cranking the engine.
Continue cranking the engine and as soon
as the engine is firing smoothly, ease the
accelerator pedal back to approximately
halfway through its travel, and release the
starter key. The engine should now be
running.
Petrol engine vehicles
On petrol engine vehicles designed to operate
ONLY on unleaded fuel, the fuel filler neck will
accept ONLY a narrow filler nozzle of the type
found on pumps that deliver UNLEADED fuel.
5.
6.
On petrol engine vehicles designed to operate
on leaded fuel, the fuel filler neck will accept the
wider filler nozzles found on pumps that deliver
LEADED fuel.
7.
If the engine fails to start, repeat the
process.
Diesel engine vehicles
The diesel pumps on garage forecourts fill at a
maximum of 45 litres (10 gallons) per minute.
Use of commercial vehicle diesel pumps with a
higher fill rate, may result in premature pump
cut-off and fuel spillage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The engine must NOT be cranked for more
than 20 seconds in any one period.
If the above procedure is carried out on a
vehicle that has NOT run out of fuel, it will
result in the engine flooding with fuel
and failing to start.
