Note: Filling station pumps used for
commercial vehicles deliver fuel at a
higher rate than normal. The higher fill
rate can cause premature cut-off and may
cause fuel spillage. It is recommended that
only standard light vehicle fuel pumps are
used.
ACTIVE DIESEL MISFUELLING
PROTECTION DEVICE
Some vehicles with a diesel engine are
supplied with an active misfuelling
protection device. This is a metal flap in
the filler neck, which will prevent the fuel
tank being filled with incorrect fuel, e.g.,
petrol. The metal flap will be visible when
the fuel filler cap is removed. The active
misfuelling protection device will
automatically release if a correctly sized,
diesel fuel pump filler nozzle is inserted,
fully and squarely into the vehicle's fuel
filler neck, as illustrated.
Note: To refuel with a fuel can, see 190,
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.
PASSIVE DIESEL MISFUELLING
PROTECTION DEVICE
Some vehicles with a diesel engine are
equipped with a passive misfuelling
protection device, incorporated into the
fuel filler neck.
If the narrow filler nozzle (fitted to pumps
delivering unleaded petrol) is fully inserted
into the vehicle's fuel filler neck, then the
passive misfuelling protection device will
activate to close the fuel filler neck. In this
event the use of the reset tool, supplied
with the vehicle, will be required to
deactivate the misfuelling device.
Note: The passive misfuelling protection
device may not activate if the petrol nozzle
is only partially inserted.
When the passive misfuelling
protection device is activated, it
may cause fuel to be discharged
from the filler neck.
Note: It is the driver’s responsibility to fill
the vehicle with the correct fuel. The
passive misfuelling protection device only
reduces the risk of filling the vehicle with
an incorrect fuel.
Note: The filler spout on some fuel cans
and older fuel pumps may trigger the
passive misfuelling protection device.
When the passive misfuelling device is
activated, a yellow flap will be visible
inside the filler neck. It will prevent fuel
flow into the fuel tank. Before refuelling
can continue, with the correct fuel, the
misfuelling protection device must be
reset.
