Practical information

Compatibility of fuels

Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The diesel engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and can be obtained from filling
stations.
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940 mixed with
a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
240
The use of B20 or B30 fuel that
meets the standard EN16709 is
possible with your Diesel engine.
However, this use, even occasional,
requires strict application of the
special servicing conditions referred
to as "Arduous conditions".
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.
