Foreword – Diesel Engines

During very cold weather some diesel-powered engines may experience difficulties with starting and initial running. These problems arise from the formation of wax crystals, which block fuel filters and/or fuel lines. All diesel fuel contains wax. It is considered an important diesel component because of its high cetane value (a measure of the fuel’s resistance to premature combustion). Normally the wax remains liquid but when diesel fuel gets cold enough the wax starts to crystallize and solidify. If the temperature is sufficiently low, enough crystals will form to block the fuel filter and/or fuel lines, resulting in the engine becoming difficult to start and run until the fuel temperature increases sufficiently.

UK diesel is manufactured to the European standard BS EN 590 and the specification of the fuel supplied from refineries is changed during winter months (Circa: 16th November to 15th March) in order to improve the cold weather performance properties of the fuel. The UK is in a zone that specifies that diesel remains free of wax crystals down to -15 Centigrade (known as the cold filter plugging point test CFPP).

With sustained temperatures below this level, particularly in exposed areas or when a vehicle is left idle for several days, blocking of filters and/or fuel lines may occur resulting in the engine becoming difficult to start and run until the fuel temperature increases sufficiently.

There are a number of practical measures that can be taken to avoid or reduce problems, including the following:

•It may be advisable to sit in the vehicle with engine running for several minutes before moving off in order to aid build up to working temperature.

•If possible, park your vehicle in a garage overnight or in a more sheltered area near a building.

•Avoid parking the vehicle with the front facing into the wind.

•If it is impossible to move the vehicle due to snow, try to run the engine daily in order to maintain movement in the fuel system and generate heat.

Under no circumstances should heat that involves a naked flame or other potential sources of ignition, be applied to any of the fuel system components.

If you are aware that you will be operating your vehicle in conditions of circa: -10 Centigrade or below on a regular basis we recommend the fitment of a fuel line heater. Your local Mitsubishi Motors dealership will be able to assist you with this.

Diesel-powered vehicles with the “DIESEL EN590” or the “DIESEL Euro IV-PH” label on the fuel tank filler door are designed to use only diesel fuel that meets the EN590 or Euro IV-PH standard.

Use of any other type of diesel fuel would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.

For diesel-powered vehicles, if proper “winter” fuel is not used in winter, the diesel preheat indicator lamp may blink and the engine speed may not rise above the idling speed because of fuel freezing. In this case, keep the engine idling for approximately ten minutes, then turn off the ignition switch or put the operation mode in OFF and immediately turn it on or put in ON again to confirm that the diesel preheat indicator lamp is off. (Refer to “Diesel preheat indicator lamp” on page 5-51)

Ethanol/Gasohol (Petrol-pow- ered vehicles only)

A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alcohol) and 90 % unleaded petrol may be used in your vehicle, provided the octane number is at least as high as that recommended for unleaded petrol.

CAUTION

Do not use more than 10 % concentration of ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.

Use of more than 10 % concentration may lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system, engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.

Do not operate your vehicle on petrol containing methanol. Using this type of alcohol could adversely affect the vehicle’s performance and damage critical parts of the vehicle’s fuel system.

NOTE

For diesel fuel, due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity decreases considerably as the temperature falls.

Because of this fact there are two kinds of fuel: “summer” and “winter”.

This must be considered in winter use. Select either of the two kinds of fuel in accordance with ambient temperature.

Above -5 °C: “summer” diesel Below -5 °C: “winter” diesel

When travelling abroad, find out in advance about the fuels served in local service stations.

2-2 General information

Filling the fuel tank

NOTE

Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock control system so that you can use unleaded petrol 90 RON or higher as an emergent measure in case unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is not available on journey, etc.

In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the engine specially.

In case of using unleaded petrol 90 RON or higher, the engine performance level is reduced.

In petrol-powered vehicles, repeatedly driving short distance at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in poor starting and poor acceleration. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a detergent additive to the petrol when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact the nearest authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.

NOTE

Poor quality petrol can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. If your experience these problems, try another brand and/or grade of petrol.

If the check engine warning lamp flashes, have the system checked as soon as possible at an authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.

In diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits form in the injector, resulting in black smoke and rough idling.

If these problems occur, you are advised to add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will break up and remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For detailed, please contact the nearest authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.

Filling the fuel tank

E00200204175

WARNING

When handling fuel, comply with the safety regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.

WARNING

Fuel is highly flammable and explosive. 2 You could be burned or seriously injured

when handling it. When refueling your vehicle, always turn the engine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel in wellventilated outdoor areas.

Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of the vehicle or fuel pump. Any static electricity on your body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapor.

Perform the whole refueling process (opening the fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not let any other person come near the fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.

Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.

Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains toxic substances.

Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get into the cabin.

If the fuel cap must be replaced, use only a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.

3.Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turning the fuel cap anticlockwise.

1- Remove

2- Close

CAUTION

Since the fuel system may be under pressure, remove the fuel cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before removing the fuel cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.

NOTE

While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap on the hook (A) located on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.

4.Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it goes.

CAUTION

Do not tilt the gun.

5.When the gun stops automatically, do not fill with fuel any more.

6.To close, turn the fuel cap slowly clockwise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.
