Fuel Filling

The Emira uses a capless fuel system.
Using a Filling Station
– With the engine switched off, insert
the pump nozzle fully into the neck
so that both spring-loaded flaps are
open.
– Ensure a suitable grade of fuel is
selected and fill to the required
quantity.
Using a Fuel Can
The corrugated flexible fuel tube fitted
on most fuel cans can cause damage
to the spring-loaded flaps and seals
within the fuel filler tube.
FUEL FILLING
It is recommended that a capless fuel
filler funnel is inserted into the fuel
filler tube, (which is designed to push
open both spring-loaded flaps), prior to
topping up the fuel tank.
Suitable capless fuel filler funnels can
be purchased from most automotive
parts stores.

UNLEADED fuel with a E5
