fuel pump MITSUBISHI L200 2011 Owner's Manual (in English)

Fuel selectionE00200102141Recommended fuelCetane number (EN590)
51 or higherCAUTIONlYour vehicle is designed to use only diesel
fuel that meets the EN 590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would
adversely affect the engine’s performance
and durability.
NOTE
l Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity
of the fuel decreases considerably as the tem-
perature falls.
Because of this fact there are two kinds of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac-
cordance with ambient temperature. Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service stations.
l Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits to
form in the injector, resulting in black smoke
and rough idling.
If these problems occur, you are advised to
add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel
when you refuel the vehicle.
The additive will break up and remove the de-
posits, thereby returning the engine to a nor-
mal condition.
Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI DIE-
SEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an
unsuitable additive could make the engine
malfunction. For details, please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.Filling the fuel tank E00200202025WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
l Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of the car or the
fuel pump. Any static electricity on your
body could create a spark that ignites
fuel vapour.
l Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not
let any other person come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to
help you and that person was carrying
static electricity, fuel vapour could be ig-
nited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you
moved away and did something else (for
example, cleaning your windscreen) part-
way through the refueling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static elec-
tricity.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.
Fuel tank capacity
75 litres
Refueling 1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.

2.Pump the hand pump (B) until there are no
more bubbles in the fuel coming out of the
air plug (A). When doing this, place a cloth
around the air plug (A) to prevent the escap-
ing fuel from spraying out.
3. Tighten the air plug (A) when there are no
more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump (B)
becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is no leak- age of fuel.
If in doubt, we recommend you to consult a
specialist for necessary information.
Type 2
Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of the fuel fil-
ter until the hand pump becomes stiff.
Then try again to start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the process above.CAUTIONl Do not smoke or have any other open
flame near the vehicle while bleeding the
fuel system.
l Be sure to carefully clean away any spilt
fuel which could ignite and cause a fire.Removal of water from the fuel
filterE00800800267
If the fuel filter indication lamp in the instrument
panel illuminates during driving, it indicates that wa-
ter has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs,
remove the water as described below.

2.Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6 or 7
times in order to force the water out through
the drain plug (A).
3. Tighten the drain plug (A) when water no lon-
ger comes out.
4. Loosen the air plug and bleed the air. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” on page
6-05.)
5. Check to be sure that the fuel filter indication lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to “ON”, and that it goes off when the
engine is started. If in doubt, we recommend
you to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.
CAUTIONl Do not smoke or have any other open
flame near the vehicle while bleeding the
fuel system.
l Be sure to carefully clean away any water
drained out because any fuel mixed with
the water could ignite and cause a fire.Type 2
