Identification of the fuel
Identification of fuels according to
Fig. 278
European Union (EU) Directive 2014/94/
Fuels are identified with different symbols.
Depending on the fuel, the different symbols
are on the pump and the tank lid of your vehi-
cle. The identification serves to prevent con-
fusion when choosing the fuel.
Petrol with ethanol ("E" stands for Etha-
1
nol). The number indicates the percent-
age of ethanol in the petrol. "E5" means,
for example, an ethanol ratio of 5% max.
Diesel with biodiesel ("B" stands for Bio-

diesel). The number indicates the per-
centage of biodiesel in the diesel. "B7"
