Use only clean, fresh, unleaded regular grade gasoline.
Octane Rating
The octane rating of a gasoline is a measure of its resistance to "knocking".
Use of a minimum of 87 octane of the antiknock index is recommended.
NOTE:
• If "knocking or pinging" occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or higher octane rating.
