Fuel Filling
TYPE OF FUEL
Using petrol with a lower octane rating,
however, can cause persistent, heavy ‘engine
knock’ (a metallic rapping noise). If severe, this
can lead to engine damage.
WARNING
On petrol engine vehicles fitted with a
catalytic converter, serious damage to the
catalyst will occur if LEADED fuel is used!
If heavy engine knock is detected when using
the recommended octane rated fuel, or if steady
engine knocking is present while maintaining a
steady speed on level roads, contact your
dealer for advice.
Petrol engine vehicles
Vehicles with a catalytic converter:
NOTE: An occasional, light, engine knock while
accelerating or climbing hills is acceptable.
•
Low compression engines:
RON UNLEADED to EN228
High compression engines:
RON UNLEADED to EN228
Vehicles without a catalytic converter:
91
Diesel engine vehicles
Use diesel or automotive gas oil (AGO) to
EN 590.

The quality of diesel fuel (Derv) can vary in
different countries and only clean, good quality
fuel should be used. It is important that the
sulphur content of diesel fuel does not exceed
0.3%; in Europe all supplies should be within
this limit, but in other parts of the world, you
should check with your supplier.
•
Use 91 RON UNLEADED petrol wherever
possible. In territories where only LEADED
fuel is available, USE 95 RON LEADED
The RON value (octane rating) and type of
petroleum (unleaded or leaded), available at
garage forecourts will vary in different parts of
the world. For example, in most European
countries 95 RON unleaded fuel is readily
available, but in some parts of the world fuel
supplies may be limited to leaded or lower
octane fuels only. The RON values quoted
above are MINIMUM requirements and can be
safely exceeded.
In markets where the sulphur content exceeds
0.3%,
more frequent engine oil and filter
changes will be required.
WARNING
If the fuel tank is accidentally filled with
petrol it is ESSENTIAL that you contact your
dealer BEFORE attempting to start the engine!
During manufacture, engines are tuned to suit
the fuel supplies commonly available in the
country for which the vehicle is destined.
However, if a vehicle is later exported to a
different country, or is used to travel between
different territories, the owner should be aware
that the available fuel supplies may not be
compatible with the engine specification. If in
doubt, seek advice from the territory
concerned.
