General
Fuel of a lower quality than that recom-
mended by Volvo must not be used as
engine power and fuel consumption is nega-
tively affected.
Diesel
Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204
standards. Diesel engines are sensitive to
contaminants, such as excessively high vol-
umes of sulphur particles for example. Only
use diesel fuel from well-known producers.
Never use diesel of dubious quality.
At low temperatures (–40 °C to –6 °C), a par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which can lead to ignition problems. Special
diesel fuel designed for low temperatures
around freezing point is available from the
major oil companies. This fuel is less viscous
at low temperatures and reduces the risk of
paraffin precipitate.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is
reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When
refuelling, check that the area around the fuel
filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the
paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-
gent and water.
Empty tank
No special procedures are required if the
tank runs dry. The fuel system is bled auto-
matically if the ignition switch is kept in posi-
tion II for approx. 60 seconds before the start
attempt.
Draining condensation from the fuel
filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from
the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine
operation.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be
ignited.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling. The ring signal could cause
spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes,
leading to fire and injury.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-
nation with fuel grade are factors that could
affect the car’s performance.
IMPORTANT
Only ever use fuel that fulfils the European
diesel standard.
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels which must not be used:
special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel
oil, RME1 (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegeta-
ble oil. These fuels do not fulfil the require-
ments in accordance with Volvo
recommendations and generate increased
wear and engine damage that is not cov-
ered by the Volvo warranty.
1Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of
RME, but further amounts must not be added.
IMPORTANT
For model year 2006 or later the sulphur
content must be a maximum of 50 ppm.
