3) Filling with AI 95 gasoline with insignificant deceleration of power of the engine is possible. AI 91 can be applied only in exceptional cases.

Diesel engines

Diesel fuel on DIN EN 590

Cetane number of not less than 49

Do not use biodiesel fuel (methyl air of rape oil)

Operation in winter conditions

Winter diesel fuel which depending on its brand ensures trouble-free operation of the engine at a temperature up to -15 °C or to -22 °C.

Heating of the fuel filter

The car is equipped with the device of heating of the fuel filter. Thanks to it the fuel calculated on its application at a temperature up to -15 °C can be used at a temperature approximately to -25 °C.
If at air temperature below -25 °C fuel became so dense that the engine is not started, some time in the warmed room is enough to allow to the car to stand.
To diesel fuel it is not necessary to mix various additives increasing its fluidity.
At temperature drop of external air below -9 °C to summer diesel fuel it is possible to add kerosene (to % of total volume)
