Fuel Tank - PEUGEOT 208 Handbook

Fuel tank

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.
Low fuel level
When the fuel tank minimum level is
reached this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel. There remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in the
tank. When the warning lamp flashes,
there is very little fuel left .
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the
"Running out of fuel - Diesel" section.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Filling
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Removing the filler cap may cause an
inrush of air. This vacuum is perfectly
normal and results from the sealing of
the system.
To fill the tank safely:
the engine must be switched off,
open the fuel filler flap,
insert the key in the cap, then turn it to the
left,
remove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap,
fill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the pump; this could cause
malfunctions.
