If you use a high-pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
fuel ller ap briey from a distance not
less than 200 mm (8 inches).
We recommend that you wait at
least ten seconds before removing
the fuel nozzle to allow any residual fuel
to drain into the fuel tank.
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional
fuel lls the expansion space in the fuel
tank which could lead to fuel overowing.
Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other
road users.
PETROL VEHICLES
Fuel Quality
WARNINGS
Do not mix petrol with oil, diesel or
other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
If you should inadvertently add
lead replacement fuel to the fuel
tank, do not start the engine (even if only
a small amount of the fuel was added).
The fuel causes permanent damage to
the catalytic converter. Contact your
nearest authorised Ford dealer
immediately for advice.
Do not use leaded petrol or petrol
with additives containing other
metallic compounds (for example,
manganese-based). They could damage
the emission system.
Note:
We recommend that you use only
high-quality fuel. The use of additives or
other engine treatments not approved
by Ford is not recommended.
Fuel and Refuelling
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS
Do not overll the fuel tank. The
pressure in an overlled tank may
cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and
re.
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel ller door, do not
refuel until the sound stops; otherwise,
fuel may spray out, which could cause
serious personal injury.
Automotive fuels can cause
serious injury or death if misused
or mishandled.
The ow of fuel through a fuel
pump nozzle can produce static
electricity, which can cause a re if fuel is
pumped into an ungrounded fuel
container.
When refueling, always shut the
engine off and never allow sparks
or open ames near the ller neck. Never
smoke or use a cell phone while
refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely
hazardous under certain conditions.
Avoid inhaling excess fumes.
Do not operate the vehicle if there
are signs of engine misre or
noticeable loss of performance.
Do not attempt to start the engine
if you have lled the fuel tank with
the incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer immediately.
Do not use any kind of ames or
heat near the fuel system. The fuel
system is under pressure. There is a risk
of injury if the fuel system is leaking.
