Misfuel prevention (diesel)*Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of e
ngine   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.
When
  a   petrol   filler   nozzle   is   introduced   into   the  
f

uel   filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes  
i

nto   contact   with   the   flap.   The   system   remains  
c

losed   and   prevents   filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
*
  According   to   country   of   sale. It
  remains   possible   to   use   a   fuel   can   to  
f

ill   the   tank.
In
  order   to   ensure   a   good   flow   of   fuel,  
d

o   not   place   the   nozzle   of   the   fuel   can  
i

n   direct   contact   with   the   flap   of   the  
m

isfuel   prevention   device   and   pour  
s

l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be   different   in   other   countries,   the  
p

resence   of   the   misfuel   prevention  
d

evice   may   make   refuelling   impossible.
Before
  travelling   abroad,   we  
r

ecommend   that   you   check   with   the  
C

ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether   your  
v

ehicle   is   suitable   for   the   fuel   pumps   in  
t

he   country   in   which   you   want   to   travel.
