Fuel and refuelling
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Avoid exposing the fuel gases to any
potential sources of ignition as the
resulting fire and explosion may
cause serious injuries and/or death.
Switch off the engine when refuelling,
as it is both a source of extreme
temperatures, and electrical sparks.
Switch off any personal electronic
devices such as mobile phones or
music players.
PETROL ENGINED VEHICLES
Do not use leaded fuels, lead
substitutes, or fuel additives.
Fuel system cleaning agents should not
be used, unless approved by Land
Rover.
OCTANE RATING
Your Land Rover requires the use of premium
unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of
95 RON to achieve optimum performance, fuel
economy and driveability.
If premium unleaded fuel is not available, you
may use unleaded fuel with a lower octane
rating, down to a minimum of 91 RON , but this
may reduce engine performance, increase fuel
consumption, cause audible engine 'knock' (a
metallic rapping noise from the engine) and
other driveability problems.
Do not use fuels with an octane rating
lower than 91 RON as severe engine
damage may occur.
Note: Occasional, light, engine knock
experienced while accelerating or climbing hills
is acceptable.
If a heavy persistent engine knock is detected,
even when using fuel to the recommended
octane rating, or if you hear engine knock while
holding a steady speed on level roads, consult
your Dealer/ Authorised Repairer to have the
problem corrected. Failure to do so is misuse
of the vehicle, for which Land Rover is not
responsible. If in doubt seek advice from a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer in the territory
concerned.
Super Green Plus 98 RON unleaded fuel (where
available) may be used as an alternative to the
standard 95 RON unleaded fuel.
ETHANOL
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol (E5 and
E10) may be used.
This vehicle is not suitable for fuels
containing more than 10% ethanol.
Do not use E85 fuel as serious engine
and fuel system damage will occur.
METHANOL
Wherever possible avoid using fuel
containing methanol.
Use of fuels containing methanol may cause
serious engine and fuel system damage.
Vehicle performance problems resulting from
the use of such fuels is not the responsibility of
Land Rover and may not be covered under the
warranty.
METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER
(MTBE)
Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known
as MTBE can be used provided that the ratio of
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound
derived from Petroleum, which has been
specified by several refiners as the substance
to enhance the octane rating of fuel.
