FUEL AND OIL
Fuel Requirements
NOTICE
Always use fresh gasoline/oil mix. Gasoline will ox-
idize; the result is loss of octane, volatile compounds, and the
production of gum and varnish deposits which can damage the
fuel system. Mix the appropriate oil with the gasoline in the
recommended ratio.
Alcohol fuel blending varies by country and region. Your vehicle has
been designed to operate using the recommended fuels, however,
be aware of the following:
– Use of fuel containing alcohol above the percentage specified by
government regulations is not recommended and can result in
the following problems in the fuel system components:
• Starting and operating difficulties.
• Deterioration of rubber or plastic parts.
• Corrosion of metal parts.
• Damage to internal engine parts.
– Inspect frequently for the presence of fuel leaks or other fuel sys-
tem abnormalities if you suspect the presence of alcohol in gaso-
line exceeds the current government regulations.
– Alcohol blended fuels attract and hold moisture which may lead to
fuel phase separation and can result in engine performance prob-
lems or engine damage.
