CAUTIONS
Use diesel that meets the
specification defined by EN 590, or
the relevant national specification.
Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel.
Note: The use of additives or other engine
treatments not approved by Ford is not
recommended.
Note: We do not recommend the prolonged
use of additives intended to prevent fuel
waxing.
Long-term storage
Most diesel fuels contain bio-diesel, it is
recommended to fill the tank with purely
mineral diesel (where available) or add an
anti-oxidant prior to long-term storage of
your vehicle exceeding two months. Your
dealer can help you with a suitable
anti-oxidant.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during use, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard.
Driving with a catalytic converter
CAUTIONS
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not crank the engine for long
periods.
Do not run the engine when a spark
plug lead is disconnected.
CAUTIONS
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See
Jump-Starting the Vehicle (page
216).
Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
WARNINGS
Take care when refuelling to avoid
spilling any residual fuel from the fuel
nozzle.
Do not use any kind of flames or heat
near the fuel system. The fuel system
is under pressure. There is a risk of
injury if the fuel system is leaking.
CAUTION
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel
filler flap briefly from a distance not
less than 200 millimetres (8 inches).
