Driving and operating 255
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester)
Paraffinic diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940 mixed with a
biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting
standard EN16709 is possible in your
diesel engines. However, this use,
even occasional, requires strict
application of the special servicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".
For more information, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Caution
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure
or diluted, domestic fuel etc.) is
strictly prohibited (risk of damage
to the engine and fuel system).
Note
The only diesel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715000 standard.
Vehicles with diesel engine operating
in Ecuador require the additive
DLP 32-600 to avoid damage of the
injection system. This additive can
only be purchased at Opel dealers.
The additive has to be poured into the
tank before refilling Diesel. For each
50 litres of Diesel refilled, 30 millilitres
of additive have to be added. To dose
the additive, use the cap of the
additive can. The cap allows a dose
of 30 millilitres.
Low temperature operation
At temperatures below 0 °C, some
diesel products with biodiesel blends
may clog, freeze or gel, which may
affect the fuel supply system. Starting
and engine operation may not work
properly. Make sure to fill winter
grade diesel fuel at ambient
temperatures below 0 °C.
Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used
at extremely low temperatures below
-20 °C. Using this fuel grade in warm
or hot climates is not recommended
and may cause engine stalling, poor
starting or damage on the fuel
injection system.
