Since many people don't read the Owners Manual, here are some quotes from it.
PETROL
- If using 91 RON, engine performance is reduced compared with 95 RON.
- 10% Ethanol fuel may be used, use of more than 10% may lead to damage.
- Can run on LPG
DIESEL
- Cetane 45 or higher
- Biodiesel blend must be below 5% and comply with European standard EN14214, otherwise may lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system.
- Failures resulting from use of non-recommended fuels are not warrantable defects.
- Poor quality fuels can cause problems such as hard starting at cold ambient temperature, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. (no mention of going to limp-home mode, having to drive under special conditions for 20 minutes or being unable to drive to remote areas.)
In case I need to prove that I have used approved fuel, I will be -
- buying all fuel from the one Servo when possible,
- only buying one brand of fuel - the dealer recommended ONLY BP
- keeping EVERY fuel receipt
- storing a sample of the last six purchases, in case MMA want to analyse fuel I have used recently.
