FUEL
Fuel Requirements
NOTICE
Always use fresh gaso-
line. Gasoline will oxidize; the re-
sult is loss of octane, volatile com-
pounds, and the production of gum
and varnish deposits which can
damage the fuel system.
Alcohol fuel blending varies by coun-
try and region. Your vehicle has been
designed to operate using the recom-
mended fuels, however, be aware of
the following:
– Use of fuel containing alcohol above
the percentage specified by gov-
ernment regulations is not recom-
mended and can result in the fol-
lowing problems in the fuel system
components:
• Starting and operating difficul-
ties.
• 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 system
abnormalities if you suspect the
presence of alcohol in gasoline ex-
ceeds the current government reg-
ulations.
– Alcohol blended fuels attract and
hold moisture which may lead to
fuel phase separation and can result
in engine performance problems or
engine damage.
Recommended Fuel
Use unleaded gasoline containing MA-
XIMUM 10% ethanol. The gasoline
must have the following minimum oc-
tane requirements.

NOTICE
. Never experiment with
other fuels. Engine or fuel system
damages may occur with the use of
an inadequate fuel.
WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity.
Open cap slowly. If a differen-
tial pressure condition is noticed
(whistling sound heard when loos-
ening fuel tank cap) have vehicle
inspected and/or repaired before
further operation. Do not overfill
or top off the fuel tank before plac-
ing the vehicle in a warm area. As
temperature increases, fuel ex-
pands and might overflow. Al-
ways wipe off any fuel spillage
from the vehicle. Periodically ver-
ify fuel system.
Fuel Antifreeze Additives
When using oxygenated fuel, addi-
tional gas line antifreeze or water ab-
sorbing additives are not required and
should be not used.
When using non-oxygenated fuel, iso-
propyl base gas line antifreeze can
be used in a proportion of 150 ml
(5 U.S. oz) of gas line antifreeze added
to 40 L (10.6 U.S. gal.) of gas.
