Refueling a car (Opel Corsa C)

Note: Use caution when handling fuel.

Before refueling, be sure to turn off the engine and, if necessary, also additional heaters with combustion chambers (indicated on the sticker on the fuel tank cap). Turn off your mobile phones.

Fuel is highly flammable and can explode. When handling fuel, do not allow open flames or sparks to form nearby. Do not smoke. This also applies to places where the presence of fuel is only noticeable by its characteristic smell. If you smell fuel in the cabin, you should immediately eliminate the cause of its appearance. It is recommended to contact a service station.



The filler neck is located on the right side of the car at the rear.

On Corsa cars with central locking, the fuel filler flap is unlocked together with the doors.

Open the fuel filler flap. On a Combo, when the fuel filler flap is open, do not fully open the right sliding door to avoid damage.

To open the fuel tank cap, you need to unlock it with the ignition key, unscrew it and hang it on the fuel filler flap.

The fuel tank has a fill limiter to prevent overfilling of the tank.

Correct refueling is determined by proper handling of the refueling nozzle.

Insert the filling nozzle all the way and turn it on.

After automatic shutdown, perform a repeated dosed refueling to the nominal capacity of the fuel tank. In this case, the fuel nozzle should remain inserted until it stops.

To close the fuel filler cap, place it in place and turn it against resistance until you feel the lock click. Lock the fuel filler cap with the ignition key.

Close the filler cap.

Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
