The cap can be retained in the
bracket on the fuel filler flap.
Place the nozzle in straight position to
the filler neck and press with slight
force to insert.
In case of an emergency refilling with a canister, a funnel must be used to
open the cap of the filler neck.The funnel is located on the right side storage in the load compartment.
Place the funnel in straight position to

Natural gas refuellingThe fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked. Release the
fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.9 Warning
Refuel only with a maximum
output pressure of 250 bar. Use
only temperature compensated
filling stations.
The refuelling procedure must be
completed, i.e. the filler neck must be
vented.
The capacity of the natural gas tank depends on outside temperature,
filling pressure and type of refuelling
system. Capacities 3 284.
Close the flap and allow it to engage. Terms for "natural gas vehicles"

instructions of the filling station when
refuelling.
The filling valve for the liquid gas is
behind the fuel filler cap.
Unscrew protective cap from the filler neck.
Fit the required adapter.
ACME Adapter: Screw the nut of the
filling nozzle onto the adapter. Press
locking lever on filler nozzle down.
DISH (Italy) filler neck: Place the filler
nozzle into the adapter. Press locking lever on filler nozzle down.
Bayonet filler neck: Place filler nozzle
on the adapter and turn to the left or
right through one quarter turn. Pull
locking lever of filler nozzle fully.

engages.

216Driving and operating
Press the button of the liquid gas
supply point. The filling system stops
or begins to run slowly when 80% of
the tank volume is reached
(maximum fill level).
Release button on filling system and
the filling process stops. Release the
locking lever and remove the filler nozzle. A small quantity of liquid gas
can escape.
Remove adapter and stow in vehicle.
Fit protective cap to prevent the
penetration of foreign bodies into the
filler opening and the system.9 Warning
Due to the system design, an
escape of liquid gas after
releasing the locking lever is
unavoidable. Avoid inhaling.
9 Warning
The liquid gas tank may only be
filled to 80% for safety reasons.
The multivalve on the liquid gas tank
automatically limits the fill quantity. If
a larger quantity is added, we
recommend not exposing the vehicle
to the sun until the excess amount
has been used up.
Filling adapter
As filling systems are not
standardised, different adapters are
required which are available from
Opel Distributors and from Opel
Authorised Repairers.
ACME adapter: Belgium, Germany,
Ireland, Luxembourg, Switzerland
Bayonet adapter: Netherlands,
Norway, Spain, United Kingdom
