Fuel Tank Filling With Fuel - Renault EXPRESS 2021 Vehicle User Manual

FUEL TANK
(3/4)
Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to
open the valve and insert it fully before
turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of
splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The valve and its sur-
round must remain clean.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent
fuel odour you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
Special case
When the vehicle has been stopped for
around three months, you must add
fuel to prevent damage to the fuel
pump.
To do this, with the ignition off, top-up
at least 1.10 gallons (5 litres) then start
the engine to operate the pump and
renew the fuel in the circuit.
If it is not possible to add at least 1.10
gallons (5 litres) of fuel due to the fuel
level in the tank, drive the vehicle until
the tank has capacity.
