REFORMULATED GASOLINE
Several petroleum companies have announced
the availability of reformulated fuels. These
fuels are specially formulated to further reduce
vehicle emissions. Land Rover fully supports
all efforts to protect and maintain ambient air
quality, and encourages the use of
reformulated fuel where available.
DIESEL ENGINED VEHICLES
Do not use RME (bio-diesel) except in
the case of those proprietary diesel
fuels which contain a mix of up to 7%.
Land Rover vehicles can accept no
responsibility for damage caused by
using RME in concentrations greater
than 7%.
Use only high quality diesel fuel according to
EN590 or equivalent.
The quality of diesel fuel is variable, depending
on geographic location. Always use premium
or the highest quality fuel available in your
locality. High quality fuel promotes a longer life
for your engine components. Lower grade fuel
contains higher levels of sulphur, which is
detrimental to engine components. If low
quality fuel is used, light coloured smoke may
be evident at the exhaust.
Prolonged use of additives is not
recommended. Do not add paraffin or petrol to
diesel fuels.
If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with
petrol instead of diesel, do not attempt
to start the engine. Contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer immediately.
Land Rover can accept no responsibility
for any damage caused by running your
vehicle with petrol or vegetable oil in the
fuel tank.
SULPHUR CONTENT
If your vehicle is fitted with a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) the maximum
Sulphur content must not exceed
0.005%. Using an incorrect fuel will
cause serious damage to the DPF.
The Sulphur content of diesel used in Land
Rover vehicles should not exceed 0.3% (3000
parts per million).
In some countries diesel will contain higher
levels of Sulphur, which will require reduced
service intervals to reduce the effects on
engine components. If in doubt contact a local
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel.
If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a
minimum of 4 litres (1 gallon) will be required
to restart the engine. The vehicle should be left
with the ignition on for 5 minutes after
refuelling before attempting to restart the
engine. The vehicle will need to be driven 1.5-5
km (1-3 miles) in order to reset the engine
management and monitoring systems.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
Take note of all warnings and
instructions given on the label affixed
to the inside of the filler flap.
The fuel filler flap is located on the right side of
the vehicle, at the rear.
1. If a locking fuel filler flap is fitted, make
sure the vehicle alarm system is disarmed.
Note: The fuel filler flap can be opened only
when the vehicle alarm is disarmed.
2. Press the flap to unlatch it. Open the flap
until the hinge lock fully engages.
