Land Rover Defender: Fuel filler
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before refueling the vehicle.

If the vehicle is filled with the incorrect fuel, it is essential to seek qualified assistance before starting the engine.
Inadequate fuel can reduce engine performance and may cause permanent damage to engine components.
Filling station pumps are equipped with automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel spillage. Fill the tank until the filler nozzle automatically cuts off the supply. Do not attempt to fill the tank beyond this point.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
Avoid the risk of running out of fuel. Never intentionally drive the vehicle when the fuel gauge indicates that the tank is empty. When refueling the vehicle after the indicated range reads zero, it may not be possible to add the maximum fuel quantity. The fuel tank retains a small reserve of fuel.
