SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional

overflowing. Fuel spillage could be
hazardous to other road users.
Do not use any kind of flames or heat
near the fuel system. The fuel system
is under pressure. There is a risk of
injury if the fuel system is leaking.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

WARNING
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or
other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.

high quality fuel.
Note: The use of additives or other engine
treatments not approved by Ford is not
recommended.
