Running Out Of Fuel (Diesel) - PEUGEOT 208 Handbook

Running out of fuel (Diesel)

On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel;
refer to the engine compartment view on the
"Diesel engine" section.
If the tank on your vehicle is fitted with
a misfuel prevention device, refer to the
corresponding section.
If the engine does not start first time,
don't keep trying. Start the procedure
again from the beginning.
