Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions

Fuel Requirements (Petrol Engine)

Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL,
which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a minimum.
Your Ford will perform best with fuel listed in the table.
Fuel
Regular unleaded fuel
Fuel with a lower rating could cause the emission control system to lose effectiveness. It
could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
l
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors and will lead to
deterioration of the emission control system and or failures.
Never add fuel system additives. Never add cleaning agents other than those specified

by Ford. Other cleaning agents and additives may damage the system. Consult an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Ford Repairer.
