Fuel And Refuelling; Safety Precautions; Fuel Quality - Petrol; Fuel Quality - E85 - Ford Focus Owner's Handbook Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional
fuel will fill the expansion space in
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel
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 - PETROL

CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or petrol
with additives containing other
metallic compounds (e.g.
manganese-based). They could damage
the emission system.
Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel without additives or other
engine treatments.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded
petrol that meets the specification defined
by EN 228, or equivalent.

FUEL QUALITY - E85

WARNINGS
Do not modify the fuel system
configuration or the components in
the system.
Do not replace the fuel system or

Note: When using E85, you may
experience a higher fuel consumption.
Note: Your vehicle will operate well on
commercial quality 95 octane unleaded
petrol, but only high quality E85 offers the
same protection and performance.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded
petrol that meets the specification defined
by EN 228, or equivalent. You can also
use a mixture of unleaded petrol and E85.
Long-term storage
Due to small amounts of corrosive
impurities that may be found in the E85,
it is recommended that you fill the tank
with only 95 octane unleaded petrol prior
to long-term storage of your vehicle.
