Fuel and refuelling -> RUNNING OUT OF FUEL for Your Land Rover Evoque SUV 2020

Fuel and refuelling  
If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with  
petrol instead of diesel, do not attempt  
to start the engine. Contact your Dealer/  
Authorised Repairer immediately.  
METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER  
(MTBE)  
Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known  
as MTBE can be used provided that the ratio of  
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed  
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound  
derived from Petroleum, which has been  
specified by several refiners as the substance  
to enhance the Octane rating of fuel.  
Land Rover can accept no responsibility  
for any damage caused by running your  
vehicle with petrol or vegetable oil in the  
fuel tank.  
SULPHUR CONTENT  
REFORMULATED GASOLINE  
If your vehicle is fitted with a Diesel  
Particulate Filter (DPF) the maximum  
Sulphur content must not exceed  
0.005%. Using an incorrect fuel will  
cause serious damage to the DPF.  
Several petroleum companies have announced  
the availability of reformulated fuels. These  
fuels are specially formulated to further reduce  
vehicle emissions. Land Rover fully supports  
all efforts to protect and maintain ambient air  
quality, and encourages the use of  
The Sulphur content of diesel used in Land  
Rover vehicles should not exceed 0.3% (3000  
parts per million).  
reformulated gasoline where available.  
In some countries diesel will contain higher  
levels of Sulphur, which will require reduced  
service intervals to reduce the effects on  
engine components. If in doubt contact a local  
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.  
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%.  
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL  
Avoid running out of fuel.  
Use only high quality diesel fuel according to  
EN590 or equivalent.  
If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a minimum  
of 4 litres (0.9 gallons) will be required to  
restart the engine. The vehicle will need to be  
driven 1.6-5 km (1-3 miles) in order to reset  
the engine management and monitoring  
systems.  
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.  
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,  
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.  
Prolonged use of additives is not  
recommended. Do not add paraffin or petrol to  
diesel fuels.
