Diesel Fuels - Chevrolet Tavera Owner's Manual

DIESEL FUELS

Diesel engine must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel meeting specifications of Cetane no. 48 & above.
Only use diesel fuel that complies with DIN EN 590. The fuel must have low sulphur content (max. 50 ppm). Equivalent standardised
fuels with a biodiesel (= FAME according to EN 14214) content of max. 7% by volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent standards) may
be used.
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils or entirely or partially plant-based diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or bio diesel,
Aquazole and similar diesel-water emulsions.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuel are temperature-dependent. When temperatures are low, refuel with diesel fuel with
guaranteed winter properties.
CAUTION
If you use inappropriate grade fuel or put incorrect fuel additives into the fuel tank, the engine and catalytic converter may seriously be
damaged.
Do not let any gasoline or water enter the tank. This would make it necessary to drain it out and to bleed the lines to avoid jamming of
injection pump & damage to engine.
