Incorrect refuelling guard on vehicles with diesel engines
The fuel filler tube on vehicles with diesel engines has been fitted with a in-
correct refuelling guard » Fig. 181. This guard means it is only possible to refuel
with the diesel pump nozzle.
If the diesel pump nozzle does not sit directly in the fuel filler tube, move it to
and fro with slight pressure to insert it correctly.
WARNING
Instructions for filling the reserve canister
Never fill the reserve can inside the vehicle.
■
Never place the reserve can on the vehicle.
■
Always place the reserve can on the floor.
■
The national legal requirements must be observed if carrying a spare can-
■
ister in the vehicle.
We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehicle for safe-
■
ty reasons. in the event of an accident this can get damaged and fuel may
escape – risk of fire!
CAUTION
The fuel tank is full just as soon as the pump nozzle switches off for the first
■
time, provided the nozzle has been operated properly. Not continue refuelling.
Be careful when filling diesel fuel from the spare canister and then do this
■
slowly and cautiously – danger of contaminating the body.
The diameter of the diesel pump nozzle can be identical to that of the petrol
■
pump nozzle in some countries. When driving in these countries, the incorrect
fuelling protection should be removed by a specialist company.
Note
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 50 litres, including a reserve of approx.
6 litres.
