FUEL TANK CAP fig. 128
To carry out refuelling, open lid A and unscrew cap B;
the cap is fitted with a device C which fastens it to the lid
so it cannot be mislaid.
In some versions, cap B have a lock and key: open lid A,
insert the ignition key then turn it anti-clockwise and un-
screw the cap itself.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure
in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the device inside the
flap as shown in fig. 128.KNOWING

When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using lo-
cally available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine be-
yond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused. If you ac-
cidentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel system emptied in ad-
dition to the tank.
