DIESEL ENGINES
REFUELLING
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffins and could
clog the diesel fuel filter.
To ensure full tank refuelling, carry out two top-up
operations once the delivery gun has turned off twice.
Avoid further top-up operations which could cause
faults in the fuel system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season: summer
type, winter type arctic type (mountains/cold areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for the current
temperature, mix diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions stated on the can,
putting first the antifreeze in the tank and then the
diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car is used/parked in
the mountains or in cold areas for a long period. In
this event you are recommended to keep an amount
of fuel higher than 50% in the tank.
The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European
Specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally filling with
another type of fuel, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has been run even
for only a very short time, in addition to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel
circuit.
