Land Rover Discovery: Diesel engined vehicles
Use only high quality diesel fuel, according
to EN590 or equivalent.
These vehicles are capable of
running with up to a 7% blend of
bio-diesel, in accordance with the
European Standard EN590. It is not
recommended to use a higher
blend of bio-diesel.
The quality and specification of diesel fuel
varies significantly, depending on
geographical location. It is recommended
to use a premium fuel, or the highest
quality of fuel available.
High quality fuel promotes 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 the fuel tank
with petrol instead of diesel, do not
attempt to start the engine. Contact
a Retailer/Authorised Repairer
immediately.
- Any damage caused by running the
vehicle with fuel other than those
stipulated, will not be covered by
the vehicle's warranty.
SULPHUR CONTENT
- If this vehicle is equipped with a
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
exhaust after treatment system, the
maximum sulphur content of the
fuel must not exceed 0.005% (50
parts per million), in accordance
with EN590-EU4, or World Wide
Fuel Charter (WWFC) Cat 3.
- The sulphur content of diesel fuel
used in vehicles not fitted with a
DPF, should not exceed 0.3%
(3 000 parts per million).
In some countries, diesel fuel may contain
higher levels of sulphur, which will require
reduced service intervals to reduce the
effects on the engine, and the exhaust
after treatment components. If in doubt,
contact a Retailer/Authorised Repairer for
advice.
Using an incorrect specification of
fuel will cause serious damage to
the engine and/or the exhaust after
treatment system, which may not
be covered by the vehicle's
warranty. If in doubt, contact a
Retailer/Authorised Repairer for
advice.
