MINI Clubman:
Pull on the green knob with the fuel pump 
symbol; the fuel filler flap opens.
Observe the following when refueling
Take all precautionary measures and 
observe all applicable regulations when 
handling fuel; otherwise, there is a danger of 
personal injury and property damage. <
Do not overfill the fuel tank; otherwise, 
overflowing fuel can cause damage to the 
environment and the vehicle.<
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid lifting the filler 
nozzle while filling the tank, as that would lead 
to
> premature pump shutoff
> reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor 
recovery system.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks 
off the first time.
Fuel tank capacity
If the range displayed is less than 
30 miles/50 km, be sure to refuel; other-
wise, engine functions are not guaranteed and 
damage could occur. <
Approx. 13.2 US gal/50 liters, including the 
reserve capacity of 2.1 US gal/8 liters.
Fuel specifications
Gasoline
For optimum fuel efficiency, the gasoline should 
be free of sulfur or as low in sulfur as possible.
Fuels that are labeled at  the pump as containing 
metal may not be used.
Do not fill the tank with leaded gasoline or 
gasoline that contai ns metal additives, 
such as manganese or iron; otherwise, long term 
damage to the catalytic converter or other com-
ponents may result. <
Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of up to 
10 %, that is, E10, can be used.
The ethanol should meet the following quality 
standards:
US: ASTM 4806-xx
CAN: CGSB-3.511-xx
xx: Always observe currently valid standards.
Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel con-
taining 85 % ethanol, nor with FlexFuel. 
Otherwise, the engine and fuel supply system 
will be damaged. <
The engine is knocking regulated. Therefore, 
different grades of gasoline can be used for 
refueling.
Recommended gasoline grades
The manufacturer of your MINI recommends:
> AKI 91.
> John Cooper Works AKI 93.
Minimum grade
The manufacturer of your MINI recommends 
AKI 89.
Do not use any gasoline below the speci-
fied minimum fuel grade. Otherwise, the 
engine could be damaged. <
If you use gasoline with  this minimum AKI rating, 
the engine may produce knocking sounds when 
starting at high external  temperatures. This has 
no effect on the engine life.
