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
DIN EN 14 214 in the following two concentrations:
5% share of biofuel RME according to the standard DIN EN 14 214
- Denomination SMN 5,
30% share of biofuel RME according to the standard
DIN EN 14 214 - Denomination SMN 30.
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 216, "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
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
) is produced when it is burnt.

Using the system
Safety
The exhaust gases contain less:

The Biofuel is more biodegradable.
When using biofuel pay attention to the following points:

Biodiesel conforming to the standard E 51 606 can be mixed in any
desired ratio with diesel fuel conforming to the standard EN 590.
We recommend refuelling with diesel fuel at temperatures below -10°C.

Winter-grade diesel fuel
A different grade of diesel fuel is available at filling stations in winter than
during the summer. Using "summer-grade diesel fuel" at temperatures
