Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running
with E10 fuel that fulfills these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10 % bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating 3 190. Use of fuel with
too low an octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and slightly
increases fuel consumption.
