New labels for petrol and diesel at filling stations

Know your fuel_66307

All you need to do is familiarise yourself with the new labels so you can choose the right fuel every time.

On the new labels, you will see a circular symbol saying E5 for petrol, or a square symbol saying B7 for diesel.Fuel labels_66308

‘E’ stands for ethanol and E5 means the fuel contains up to 5% renewable ethanol. ‘B’ stands for biodiesel and B7 means the fuel contains up to 7% renewable biodiesel.

The fuels are exactly the same as before and are likely to still have labels saying petrol (or unleaded) and diesel.
