Fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels which conform to current and
future European standards (diesel fuel
which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies
with standard En 14214) available at
the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty
Acid Methyl Ester).
B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines. However, this use,
even occasional, requires strict
application of the special servicing
conditions. Contact a CITROËN 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).
