Fuel Filling - Aston Martin DB 9 2010 Manual

Fuel Filling

Open the fuel flap (B) by pressing the
fuel flap release button (A). If the filler
flap will not open when the release
button is pressed, open the filler flap
manually (Refer to 'Filler Flap
Emergency Release', page 4.15).
Turn the cap counterclockwise past

into its holder.
5.16
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 accept 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
five seconds after nozzle shut OFF
before trying to fill again.
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.
