The guard minimizes the likelihood that fuel other than ultra-low sulfur diesel will be put into the vehicle. The misfueling guard is designed to remain in a locked position when a nozzle with a diameter typically suited for non-diesel fuels (approximately 13/16?, or 20.6mm) is inserted, to prevent further insertion of the nozzle into the filler neck. A nozzle with a larger diameter typically suited for diesel fuel (approximately 15/16?, or 23.8mm) will unlock the misfueling guard when inserted, allowing the nozzle to be further inserted into the filler neck.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10216690-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10216690-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10216690","components":[{"id":"fuel-system","name":"Fuel system","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","year_from":2009,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2009_audi_a3","2010_audi_a3","2011_audi_a3","2012_audi_a3","2013_audi_a3"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","year_from":2014,"year_to":2014,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","year_from":2015,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2015_audi_a3"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A6","year_from":2009,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2009_audi_a6","2010_audi_a6","2011_audi_a6","2012_audi_a6","2013_audi_a6","2014_audi_a6","2015_audi_a6"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A8","year_from":2009,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2009_audi_a8","2010_audi_a8","2011_audi_a8","2012_audi_a8","2013_audi_a8","2014_audi_a8","2015_audi_a8"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"Q7","year_from":2009,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2009_audi_q7","2010_audi_q7","2011_audi_q7","2012_audi_q7","2013_audi_q7","2014_audi_q7","2015_audi_q7"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
