OPERATING
IN
FILLING
TANK
Filter
preheating*
If the vehicle is
fitted
with
a
filter
preheater, the fuel system will be kept
operational down to -25° C if winter Die-
sel
fuel is
used.
One can recognise the
preheated
filter
by the additional valve
and
hose connections (see Fig.).
Dilution
with
petrol is then no longer
necessary.
The
filler neck is on the
right
hand side
of the vehicle.
Key
A = see page 4 -
fits
the lockable
tank cap* (on vehicles
with
four wheel
drive an extra key is supplied).
The
fuel tank capacity is approx. 60 litres
(Syncro
70).
Trouble-free refueling calls for correct
use
of filler nozzle.
• Insert nozzle fully into tank neck and
do not
tilt
it.
On
vehicles
with
a factory
fitted
catalyst
it should be noted
that
the filler neck is
smaller
in diameter and is closed
with
a
spring-loaded flap below the filler
opening.
Filler nozzles for lead-free
petrol are correspondingly smaller in
diameter and open the flap when insert-
ed
into the filler neck. This is to ensure
that
only lead-free petrol can be put in
the tank.
• Do not try to
fill
tank too quickly,
otherwise the fuel (especially Diesel) will
foam and this may cause nozzle to switch
off too
soon.
As
soon as the correctly operated auto-
matic nozzle switches off for the
first
time, the tank is full. Do not try then to
put more fuel in because otherwise the
expansion
space in tank will be filled -
the fuel can then overflow when it gets
warm.
Note
for vehicles
with
Diesel
engine:
Bleeding the
fuel
system
The
fuel system does not need bleeding
when tank has been run dry - this takes
place
automatically while starting.
Generally
applicable:
It at temperatures below -25° C the fuel
has
already waxed to such an extent
that
the engine will not start it is suffi-
cient to place the vehicle in a warm
room for a while.
Fuel
additives (anti-waxing agents and
similar
fluids) must not be mixed
with
70 the Diesel fuel.
