Checking and refilling levels
CAUTION
●
The v
ehicle is not designed for the use of
FAME fuel (biodiesel). The fuel system would
be damaged if you used biodiesel.
●
Do not mix fuel additives, the so-called
“thinners”, petrol or similar additives with
diesel fuel.
●
If poor-quality diesel fuel is used, it may be
necessary to drain the fuel filter more fre-
quently than is specified in the Maintenance
Programme. We recommend having this done
by a specialised workshop. If water is allowed
to collect in the filter, this can cause engine
performance problems.
