Catalytic Converters - Aston Martin DB 9 2007 Manual

Install the cap by turning clockwise past resistance, until three
'clicks' are felt as the cap is fully tightened. Close and latch
the fuel flap.
The fuel tank filler neck has a restricted opening which will
only accommodate the fuel supply nozzle of unleaded fuel
pumps.
The fuel system will not permit overfill but there will be
instances when the nozzle will shut off prematurely. If this
happens wait 5 seconds after nozzle shut off before trying to
re-initiate fill.
Fuel Cut-Off
In the event of a vehicle accident the vehicle will enter Crash
mode. Power to the fuel pumps will terminate, thereby
reducing fire risk.
Filler Flap Emergency Release
If the filler flap will not open when the release switch is
pressed, open the filler flap manually (Refer to 'Filler Flap
Emergency Release', page 4.14).

Catalytic Converters

Warning
Do not park over dry grass, leaves or other combustible
material. Significant fire risk exists because of residual
heat in the catalytic converters.
Warning
Do not drive through deep water. Rapid cooling of
catalysts may cause them to break up.
Catalytic convertors convert harmful exhaust gasses into less
noxious substances and so reduce environmental pollution.
They operate at high temperatures and continue to radiate a
considerable amount of heat after turning off the engine.
Leaded fuel will cause irreparable damage to catalytic
converters. If leaded fuel is inadvertently added to the fuel
tank do not start the engine, do not drive the vehicle.
Contact your Aston Martin Dealer immediately.
