Fuel for diesel engines
Diesel engines must be operate d only on
commercially available diesel fuel meeting
the specifications of DIN EN 590.
Since January 2004, some oil companies
have mixed their diesel fuel with up to 5%
Bio fuel (FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl Esters)
like RME (Rape-Oil Methyl Ester). This is in
accordance with the current DIN EN 590
and does not harm the fuel injection
system. The characteristics of a diesel fuel
mixed up with 5% Bio fuel (FAME) do not
differ from conventional diesel fuel and do
not influence the vehicle’s driveability.
Im portant : Diesel fuel mixed with 5% FAME
according to DIN EN 590 must not be
confused with 100% Bio Diesel, which is not
to be used in Vauxhall engines.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuels are
tem perature-d epend ent.
Diesel fuels with improved low tempe rature
properties are therefore available on the
market during the winter months. Make
sure that you fill the tank with winter fuel
before the start of the cold weather
season.
Additives can be used with diesel fuels with
winter properties that are guaranteed by
the manufacturer and when using diesel
fuel filters that are heated depending on
the outside temperature.
Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels
that are intended for petrol engines.
Refuelling
Ensure suitable fuel is available before
driving in foreign countries.

The fuel filler neck with bayonet cap is
located on the left rear side of the vehicle.
The tank flap is locked together with the
doors - see page 50.
Unlock doors, tailgate and tank flap by
pressing central locking switch m in
drivers door.
Open the tank flap by hand.
9 Warning
Care m ust be taken when dealing with
fuel.
Before refuelling it is ab solutely vital to
switch off the engine and any heating
systems with combustion chambers.
Switch off mobile phones.
Fuel is inflammable and explosive,
therefore avoid dealing with fuel near
naked flames and doing anything that
would generate sp arks. No smoking.
This also ap plies where the sm ell of fuel is
noticeable. If the smell of fuel vapour
occurs in the vehicle itself, hav e the c ause
remedied imm ediately by a workshop.
