Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of engine damage that can result from
filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not continue trying but introduce a
diesel filler nozzle instead.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
To ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place
the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact
with the flap of the misfuel prevention
device and pour slowly.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.
