Get ACCESS -> FUEL TANK Guide for Peugeot 407 4 Door First Generation (2004-2011)

ACCESS

Refuelling

To refuel in complete safety:

 you must switch off the engine,

 open the fuel ﬁller ﬂap.

FUEL TANK

The capacity of the tank is approxi-

mately 67 litres.

 turn the cap to the left.

 remove the cap and hang the end

on the hook located on the inside

of the ﬂap.

Low fuel warning

 ﬁll the tank, but do not continue

after the third cut-off of the noz-

zle; this may cause malfunctions.

After ﬁlling the tank:

 reﬁt the cap,

 close the ﬂap.

When the low fuel level is

reached, this warning lamp

comes on in the instrument

panel, accompanied by an au-

dible signal and a message on the mul-

tifunction screen. When it ﬁrst comes

on, about 6 litres of fuel remains in

the tank.

If you run completely out of fuel

(Diesel), refer also to the "Checks"

section.

Operating fault

A fuel gauge fault is indicated by the

fuel guage needle returning to zero.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

A label ﬁtted to the inside of the fuel

ﬁller ﬂap indicates which type of fuel

to use.

Additions of fuel must be of at least

5 litres to be taken into account by the

fuel gauge.

Opening the fuel ﬁller may produce the

noise of an inrush of air. This vacuum

is entirely normal and results from the

sealing of the fuel system.

Quality of the fuel used for

petrol engines

Quality of the fuel used for

Diesel engines

Special features of BioFlex

engines

The petrol engines are perfectly com-

patible with E10 type petrol biofuels

(containing 10% ethanol), conforming

to European standards EN 228 and

EN 15376.

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 15293.

The Diesel engines are perfectly com-

patible with biofuels which conform to

current and future European standards

(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-

dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which

complies with standard EN 14214)

available at the pumps (containing up

to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-

tain Diesel engines; however, this use

is subject to strict application of the

special servicing conditions. Consult a

PEUGEOT dealer.

A BioFlex vehicle has been designed

to run on unleaded petrol (RON 95 or

RON 98) or ethanol (this is a mixture

containing 85% ethanol and 15% un-

leaded petrol, called E85).

So, regardless of the quantity of fuel

remaining in your tank and irrespec-

tive of its type (RON 95/RON 98, E85

or a mixture of the two), you can ﬁll

your tank at any time with unleaded

petrol (RON 95 or RON 98) or ethanol

(E85).

For Brazil only, special vehicles are

marketed to run on fuels containing up

to 100% ethanol (E100 type).

The use of any other type of (bio)fuel

(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-

luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-

hibited (risk of damage to the engine

and fuel system).

There is no problem driving on unlea-

ded petrol only with this vehicle.

In winter conditions, star-

ting the engine from cold may

sometimes prove difﬁcult.

During these very cold periods

you are advised to use unleaded pet-

rol rather than E85 to ensure optimum

starting conditions.
