Skoda Rapid Owner's Manual page 80

The vehicle can only operate with unleaded petrol that meets standard EN
228, and contains maximum 10% bioethanol (E10).
Prescribed petrol 95 / min. 92 and 93 RON / ROZ
We recommend using petrol 95 ROZ.
Optionally, the petrol 92 or. 93 ROZ can be used (slight power loss, a slightly
increased fuel consumption).
In an emergency petrol 91 ROZ can be used (slight power loss, slightly in-
creased fuel consumption) » .
Specified petrol is unleaded, min. 95 RON / ROZ
Use min. 95 ROZ petrol.
In an emergency, 91. 92 or93 ROZ petrol can be used (slight loss of power,
slightly increased fuel consumption)
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of dam-
age to the engine and to the exhaust system.
When petrol with a lower than the prescribed octane is used, only continue
■
driving at mid-range engine speeds and with minimal strain on the engine. Re-
fuel using petrol of the prescribed octane number as soon as possible.
Lower than 91 octane petrol should not be used, even in an emergency!
■
If a fuel other than unleaded fuel which complies to the above mentioned
■
standards (e.g. leaded petrol) is put in the tank by mistake, do not start the en-
gine or switch on the ignition.
CAUTION
Petrol additions (additives)
Unleaded petrol in accordance with the EN 228 standard meets all the condi-
■
tions for a smooth-running engine. We therefore do not recommend mixing
fuel additives into the petrol - There is a risk of engine damage or damage to
the exhaust system.
The following additives may not be used - risk of engine damage or damage
■
to the exhaust system!
Additives with metal components (metallic additives), in particular with
■
manganese and iron content.
Fuels with metallic content (e.g. LRP - lead replacement petrol).

General Maintenance
» .
Notice
Unleaded petrol that has a higher octane number than that required by the
■
engine can be used without limitations.
The use of petrol with an octane rating higher than 95 ROZ in does not result
■
in either a noticeable increase in power nor lower fuel consumption in vehicles
for which unleaded petrol 95/min 92 or 93 ROZ is specified.
On vehicles using the prescribed petrol of min. 95 ROZ, the use of petrol with
■
a higher octane number than 95 ROZ can lead to an increase in power and re-
duction in fuel consumption.
Diesel fuel

Read and observe and
The correct fuel for your vehicle is specified on the inside of the fuel filler
flap» fig. 68 on page 77.
The vehicle can only be operated using diesel fuel that complies with the
standard EN 590 and contains a maximum 7% biodiesel (B7).
Operating under different weather conditions
Use only diesel in accordance with the current or expected weather conditions.
Ask the petrol station personnel whether the diesel fuel offered corresponds
to these conditions.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of dam-
age to the engine and to the exhaust system.
If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-
■
tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is used, do not start the engine or switch on the
ignition!
The biofuel RME must not be used!
■
CAUTION
Diesel fuel additives
The diesel fuel in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all the
■
conditions for a smooth-running engine. Therefore, we recommend that you
do not add any fuel additives to the diesel - there is a risk of engine damage or
damage to the exhaust system.
