Range Rover Evoque: Methanol
Wherever possible avoid
using fuel
containing methanol.
Some fuels contain methanol (Methyl or wood alcohol). If you use fuels containing methanol the fuels must also contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Also, do not use fuels which contain more than 3% methanol even if they contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors. Fuel system damage or 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.

case aluminium and steel. Avoidance of galvanic
corrosion is an important issue to be considered in the repair of aluminium
bodied vehicles.
Precautions to prevent the contamination
Driving in arduous conditions
When a vehicle is operated in extremely
arduous conditions, more frequent attention
