11.4. FUEL
Use only premium unleaded petrol of a minimum 95 RON. Using incorrect
grade will cause running anomalies and warning signals.
11.5. ETHANOL
All Abarth vehicles imported since
1998 must run on minimum 95 RON fuel
(premium unleaded petrol). Your vehicle
will operate satisfactorily on 10% ethanol blended petrol, though the
minimum 95 RON still applies.
Note:
Fuel at 95 RON with 10% ethanol content may not currently
be available in Australia. Ethanol blends higher than 10% are not
recommended.
