3) refuelling by gasoline АИ 95 with insignificant decrease in capacity of the engine Is possible. АИ 91 it can be applied only in exceptional cases.
Diesel engines
Diesel fuel on DIN EN 590 Tsetanovoe number not less than 49
Do not use biodiesel fuel (a methyl aether рапсового oil)
The tsetanovoe number characterises ability of diesel fuel to spontaneous ignition.
Operation in winter conditions
Winter diesel fuel which depending on its mark provides engine trouble-free work at temperature to-15°S or to-22°S.
Heating of the fuel filter
The car is equipped by the device of heating of the fuel filter. Thanks to it the fuel calculated on its application at temperature to-15°S, it is possible to use at temperature approximately to-25°S.
If at air temperature more low-25°S fuel became so dense that the engine is not started, to allow to the car some time to stand in a warmed premise enough.
To diesel fuel it is not necessary to mix the various additives raising its fluidity.

The quantity of antifreeze added in system of cooling for maintenance of demanded frost resistance (thus as much a cooler to merge), l
It is more low shown, how many antifreeze it is necessary to add to provide desirable frost resistance.
Example: Measurement on the engine 316i, 318i shows protection to temperature-10°S. In this case it is necessary to merge of 2.0 l from system of a cooling liquid and instead of it to fill in 2.0 l of a pure concentrate. It will provide protection of the engine to temperature-35°S.

The values resulted in the table are valid at temperature of a cooling liquid nearby +20°С.
