MISFUEL PREVENTION*

Travelling abroad

It is still possible to use a fuel can

to ﬁll the reservoir.

In order to ensure a good ﬂow of fuel,

do not place the nozzle of the fuel

can in direct contact with the ﬂap of

the misfuel prevention device.

i

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be

different in other countries, the pres-

ence of the misfuel prevention device

may make refuelling impossible.

Before travelling abroad, we rec-

ommend that you check with the

PEUGEOT dealer network, whether

your vehicle is suitable for the fuel

pumps in the country in which you

want to travel.

Mechanical device which prevents ﬁll-

ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with

petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-

age that can result from ﬁlling with the

wrong fuel.

Located in the ﬁller neck, the misfuel

prevention device appears when the

ﬁller cap is removed.

Operation

When a petrol ﬁller nozzle is introduced

into the fuel ﬁller neck of your Diesel

vehicle, it comes into contact with the

ﬂap. The system remains closed and

prevents ﬁlling.

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel

type ﬁller nozzle.

* According to destination country.
