Fuel and refuelling for Your Ford Fiesta 4 Door Fifth Generation (2003-2008)

Fuel and refuelling  
WARNING  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol  
or other liquids. This could cause  
a chemical reaction.  
WARNINGS  
Stop refuelling after the fuel  
nozzle stops the second time.  
Additional fuel will fill the expansion  
space in the fuel tank which could  
lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage  
could be hazardous to other road  
users.  
CAUTION  
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or  
petrol to diesel. This could cause  
damage to the fuel system.  
Do not use any kind of flames  
or heat near the fuel system.  
The fuel system is under pressure.  
There is a risk of injury if the fuel  
system is leaking.  
Note: We do not recommend the  
prolonged use of additives intended  
to prevent fuel waxing.  
Use diesel that meets the  
specification defined by EN 590, or  
equivalent.  
FUEL QUALITY - PETROL  
You can use diesel that contains up  
to 5% RME (bio diesel).  
Note: We recommend that you use  
only high quality fuel without additives  
or other engine treatments.  
CATALYTIC CONVERTER  
CAUTION  
Driving with a catalytic  
converter  
Do not use leaded petrol or  
petrol with additives containing  
other metallic compounds (e.g.  
manganese-based). They could  
damage the emission system.  
CAUTIONS  
Avoid running out of fuel.  
Do not crank the engine for long  
periods.  
Use minimum 95 octane  
unleaded petrol that meets the  
specification defined by EN 228, or  
equivalent.  
Do not run the engine when a  
spark plug lead is disconnected.  
Do not push-start or tow-start  
your vehicle. Use booster cables.  
See Using booster cables(page  
125).  
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

WARNING  
CAUTION  
Do not park your vehicle over  
dry leaves or dry grass. The  
exhaust will continue to radiate a  
considerable amount of heat after  
you have switched the engine off.  
This is a potential fire hazard.  
Do not attempt to start the  
engine if you have filled the fuel  
tank with the incorrect fuel. This could  
damage the engine. Have the system  
checked by a properly trained  
technician immediately.
