open gas tank FIAT DUCATO 2015 3.G Owners Manual

WARNING
92) Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank
opening: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
93) To avoid fuel spillage and the
exceeding of the maximum level,
avoid topping up after filling the
tank.
94) Any fuel pumping in portable
containers located on a floor
can cause a fire. Danger of burns.
Always put the fuel container on
the ground during filling. Avoid
using contaminated fuel: a fuel
contaminated with water or earth
can cause serious damage to
the motor supply. Proper
maintenance of the fuel filter, of
the engine and the fuel tank is
essential.
95) Do not open the fuel system at
high pressure with the engine
running. The operation of the
engine creates a high fuel
pressure. A jet of high-pressure
fuel can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING
96) If AdBlue overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank
to over 50 ° C (for example due
to direct solar irradiation), AdBlue
can decompose ammonia
vapours. Ammonia vapours have a
pungent odour when the cap of
the AdBlue tank is unscrewed,
therefore be careful not to inhale
any ammonia vapours in the tank
outlet. In this concentration,
however, the ammonia vapors are
not harmful or dangerous to
health.

DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all
particulates in compliance with current /
future legal regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the
Powertrain Control Module records
a set of data (travel time, type of route,
temperatures reached etc.) and
calculates how much particulate has
been trapped by the filter.
