Range Rover Evoque: 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 ensures 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.
