FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Petrol/Ethanol Blends
Blends of unleaded petrol and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in some areas.
Blends of this type may be used in your
vehicle if they are no more than 5% ethanol.
Make sure this petrol-ethanol blend has
octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for petrol.
Use of leaded fuel in vehicle equipped
with catalytic converter is prohibited,
because lead deactivates the pollutant-
reducing components of catalytic
converter and may result in permanent
damage to catalytic converter.
You
must use unleaded petrol
with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher. Your
vehicle is fitted with a restrictor in the fuel
filter pipe which will not allow the use of
large nozzle used for dispensing leaded
fuel at filling station.
Omni MPFI
Petrol/Methanol Blends
Blends of unleaded petrol and methanol (wood
alcohol) are also commercially available in
some areas. DO NOT USE fuels containing
more than 5% methanol under any
circumstances. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems resulting from
the use of such fuels are not the
responsibility of MARUTI SUZUKI and may
not be covered under Warranty.
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol may
be suitable for use in your vehicle if they
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
are using a petrol/alcohol blend, you should
switch back to unleaded petrol containing no
alcohol.
CAUTION
B
e careful not to spill fuel containing al-
cohol while refuelling. Fuels containing
alcohol can cause paint damage, which
is not covered under Warranty.
The fuel tank has an air space to allow
for fuel expansion in hot weather. if
you continue to add fuel after the filler
nozzle has automatically shut off or an
initial blowback full. Exposure to heat
when fully fuelled in this manner will
result in leakage due to fuel expansion.
to prevent such fuel leakage, stop
filling after the filler nozzle has
automatically shut off, or when using
an alternative non automatic system,
Initial vent blowback occurs.
