Gasoline
METHANOL (methyl or wood
alcohol) — Gasoline containing
methanol must contain cosolvents
and corrosion inhibitors to protect
the fuel system. Gasoline contain-
ing more than 5% methanol by
volume may cause starting and/or
performance problems and may
damage metal, rubber and plastic
parts of your fuel system.
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) — You may use gasoline
containing up to 15% MTBE by
volume.
Before using an oxygenated fuel,
try to confirm the fuel's contents.
Some states and provinces require
this information to be posted on the
pump. If you notice any undesirable
operating symptoms, switch to a
conventional unleaded gasoline.
Fuel system damage or perform-
ance problems resulting from the
use of an oxygenated fuel are not
the responsibility of Honda and are
not covered under warranty.
Oxygenated fuels can damage paint
and plastic. Be careful not to spill
fuel when filling your fuel tank.
Damage caused by spilled fuel is
not covered under warranty.
