Holden Colorado Owner Manual (Holden-Localizing-Australia/New Zealand-
13711071) - 2020 - CRC - 3/4/19
206 Driving and Operating
Caution
If the vehicle is accidentally
refuelled with petrol, do not
continue driving the vehicle.
Driving the vehicle will damage
the fuel system. Have the vehicle
towed to a qualified technician to
have the petrol removed from the
tank and fuel system. Refuel with
Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel fuel. It is
also recommended to have the
fuel system flushed with Ultra
Low Sulphur Diesel, to ensure all
petrol is removed.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel
produced from vegetable oils or
animal fats that have been
chemically modified to make it
compatible with diesel fuel.
Caution
Do not use home-made biodiesel
or home test kits because the
quality cannot be verified by
approved scientific methods. Do
not use raw vegetable oil or other
unmodified bio-oils, fats,
or blends of vegetable oil with
diesel. They could damage the
fuel system and engine, and
damages would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Biodiesel Blends
Fuels with a biodiesel content up to
5% by volume may be used (e.g.,
named B5). Only use biodiesel
blends up to 5% by volume that
comply with your country's or
region's fuel standards.
Caution
Do not use blends containing
more than 5% biodiesel. Any
engine, fuel system, or exhaust
after-treatment system damage
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
As a renewable fuel, biodiesel
provides some environmental
benefits. However, biodiesel has
unique properties and needs to be
handled differently than diesel fuel.
Its use presents additional risks and
may not be appropriate in all
situations. Certain vehicle operating
modes increase these risks and
should be avoided.
Biodiesel fuel quality degrades with
time and exposure to high
temperature quicker than Ultra Low
Sulphur Diesel fuel. More frequent
refuelling provides the best
opportunity to have a supply of fresh
fuel. Storage at hot ambient
temperatures will accelerate
biodiesel degradation.
