FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Use only BS VI petrol with minimum RON 91.
BS VI petrol containing upto 10% of ethanol by
volume can be used.
Higher ethanol content in petrol can
• degrade plastic and rubber components of
fuel system and vehicle parts
• cause corrosion damage to metal parts like
fuel tank, etc
• result in startability & drivability issues
• decrease fuel economy
Ethanol absorbs water very easily, resulting fuel
separation. Extra care shall be taken to prevent
moisture entry into fuel tank while filling ethanol
blended petrol and water washing of vehicle.
Painted parts (viz. panels, covers) shall not come in
contact with ethanol blended fuels.
Manufacturer is not responsible for any warranty
issues that results from using ethanol blend in excess
of 10% by volume.
In case of any abnormalities observed due to use of
ethanol blended fuels, customers are advised to use
a different fuel station/brand for standard E10 fuel or
contact authorised service centers.
