In The Event Of A Breakdown; Running Out Of Fuel (Diesel); Tool Kit - CITROEN C3 Handbook

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is
essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the
fuel tank.
For more information on Refuelling and
on Misfuel prevention (Diesel), please
refer to the corresponding section.
For non-BlueHDi versions, the fuel system
components are located in the engine
compartment, possibly under the removable
cover.
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location
of these components under the bonnet,
please refer to the corresponding section.
BlueHDi engines
► Switch on the ignition (without starting the
engine).
► Wait around 1 minute and switch off the
ignition.
► Operate the starter motor to start the engine.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
do not keep trying, but restart the procedure.
Non-BlueHDi engines
► Open the bonnet and then, if necessary,
unclip the cover to access the priming pump.
► Operate the priming pump repeatedly
until resistance is felt (resistance may be
felt at the first press).
► Operate the starter motor to start the engine
(if the engine does not start at the first attempt,
wait around 15 seconds before trying again).
► If the engine does not start after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again, then
the starter motor.
► Put the cover back in place and clip it in, then
close the bonnet.
