Page 221 Fuel Operation in winter Caution Even inadvertently filling the fuel tank with another biofuel such as Ethanol°E85 can result in damage to the fuel system. If you park the car for a lengthy period, fill with petrol complying with (DIN) EN°228, because Ethanol E85 can contain low quantities of impurities, which can lead to corrosion.

Page 224 Fuel and unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system, which may result in overheating and damage to the catalytic converter. Make sure that the valve is not pressed into the filler tube when inserting the pump nozzle into the filler tube. Otherwise you are unintentionally filling up the volume, which in case of heat can cause an expansion of the fuel.
