Petrol engines

Use only unleaded petrol.

To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank filler is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump filler.

Use petrol with a rated octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.

IMPORTANT

An inefficient catalytic converter will allow harmful exhaust fumes to be emitted and thus contribute to air pollution.

IMPORTANT

Never put even the tiniest amount of leaded petrol in the fuel tank of your vehicle even in an emergency. You would damage the catalytic converter beyond repair.
