An optional visual fuel quantity gauge is installed on top of each tank and is to be
used as a reference for refueling tanks only.

--CAUTION--
Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) or other additives are not recom-
mended due to potential deteriorating effects within the fuel system. Under cer-
tain conditions of temperature and humidity, water can be present in fuel in suffi-
cient quantities to create ice formations within the fuel system. To prevent this,
add Anhydrous ISOPROPYL Alcohol to the fuel supply in quantities not to exceed
3% of total fuel volume per tank.
