FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 type petrol biofuels (containing
10 % ethanol), conforming to European
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current
and future European standards (diesel
fuel which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies with
standard EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15376.
The flashing of this warning light
is accompanied by a message on
the display.
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject

conditions. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
