Refuelling The Car - Jeep COMPASS Owner's Handbook Manual

REFUELLING THE CAR

Before refuelling, check you are using
the correct type of fuel.
Furthermore, turn off the engine before
refuelling.
PETROL AND HYBRID ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with an octane
number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95
(EN228 specification).
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel fuel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification). If the external
temperature is very low, Diesel thickens
due to the formation of paraffin clots
with consequent defective operation
of the fuel supply system. In order to
avoid these problems, different types of
Diesel are distributed according to the
season: summer type, winter type and
arctic type (cold, mountain areas). In the
event of refuelling with diesel which is
unsuitable for the operating temperature,
it is advisable to mix the diesel with a
specific additive, introducing it to the
tank before the anti-freeze and then the
diesel.
When using or parking the car for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
Diesel. In this case, it is also advisable
to keep the tank over 50% full.
