Petrol with a higher octane number can
always be used.

in vehicles with the Z 22 YH
1)

the grad e of fuel used (octane numb er)
see pages 212, 213.

Fuel for diesel engines
Diesel engines must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel meeting
the specifications of DIN EN 590.
Since January 2004, some oil companies
have mixe d 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 fuel are
tem perature-d epe nd ent.
Diesel fuels with improved low temperature
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
se ason.
Additives can be used w ith 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.
Fuel filler cap
If replacing the fuel fille r c ap, be sure to use
a genuine fuel filler cap for your model to
ensure full functionality. Diesel-engined
vehicles have special fuel filler caps.

Care must be taken when handling fuel.
Before refuelling, switch off the engine
and where applicab le any auxiliary
heating with combustion chambers
(seesticker on fuel filler cap).
Switch off mobile phones.

Fuel is inflammable and explosive.
Therefore, when handling fuel or when in
the vicinity of fuel, avoid naked flames
and sparks. Do not smoke! This also
applies where fuel c an be detected b y its
characteristic smell. If you can smell fuel in
your vehicle, have the cause of this
rectified immediately by a workshop.
