Practical information -> Misfuel prevention (Diesel) for Your Peugeot 208 4 Door First Generation (2012-2019)

Practical information  
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the  
Diesel tank, it comes into contact with the flap.  
The system remains closed and prevents filling.  
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type  
filler nozzle.  
Fuel cut-off  
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device  
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of  
a collision.  
Snow chains  
In wintry conditions, snow chains  
improve traction as well as the  
behaviour of the vehicle when  
braking.  
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)  
(Depending on the country where the product  
Snow chains must be fitted only to the  
front wheels. They must never be fitted to  
"space-saver" type spare wheels.  
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill  
the tank.  
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 and pour slowly.  
is sold.)  
Mechanical device which prevents filling the  
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids  
the risk of engine damage 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.  
Take account of the legislation in force in  
your country on the use of snow chains  
and the maximum authorised speed.  
Driving abroad  
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be  
different in other countries, the presence  
of the misfuel prevention device may make  
refuelling impossible.  
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with  
misfuel protection, so before travelling  
abroad, we recommend that you check  
with the PEUGEOT dealer network,  
whether your vehicle is suitable for the  
fuel pumps in the country in which you  
intend to travel.  
Only use the chains designed to be fitted to the  
type of wheels fitted to your vehicle:
