STARTING AND DRIVING
|| B7 is diesel with maximum
7 volume % fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME).
At low temperatures (lower than 0 °C (32 °F)) a
paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which may lead to starting problems. The fuel
qualities that are sold must be adapted for sea-
son and climate zone, but for extreme weather
conditions, old fuel or moving between climate
zones, paraffin precipitate may occur.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is
reduced if the tank is kept well filled.
When refuelling, check that the area around the
fuel filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the
paintwork. Wash off any spillage with detergent
and water.
