REFUELLING

CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine if
you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician immediately.

FUEL QUALITY - PETROL

Note: Add 1 ml of IFTEX System G with
every litre of Gasoline (Petrol). It is available
at all Ford authorised dealerships.
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with
additives containing other metallic
compounds (e.g. manganese-based).
They could damage the emission system.
Use minimum 91 octane unleaded petrol
that meets the specification defined by EN
228, or equivalent.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel without additives or other
engine treatments.
WARNING
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or
other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
CAUTION
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or
petrol to diesel. This could cause
damage to the fuel system.
Use diesel that meets the specification
defined by EN 590, or equivalent.
Fuel and Refuelling
You can use diesel that contains up to 5%
RME (bio diesel).
Prolonged use of supplemental additives
to prevent fuel waxing is not
recommended.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Length of journey/engine
temperature
Frequent cold starts and short distance
driving leads to considerably increased fuel
usage.
Traffic and road conditions
Slow moving traffic, uphill driving, frequent
sharp bends and rough roads all have an
adverse effect on fuel consumption.
Erratic driving habits
Anticipate hazards ahead and keep a safe
distance from the vehicle in front.
This not only reduces fuel consumption
but also the noise level.
If you have a prolonged wait at a railway
crossing or at traffic lights in built-up areas,
it is advisable to switch off the engine
during this period.
Vehicle load conditions
Driving in a fully laden condition will result
in high fuel consumption.
Vehicle condition
Low tyre pressure or inadequate engine or
vehicle maintenance will also result in
higher fuel consumption.
