Maserati recommends the use of
gasoline that meets the WWFC
specifications if they are available.
Besides using unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating, gasoline that
contain detergents, anti-corrosion and
stability additives are recommended.
Using gasoline that have these
additives may help improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions, and
maintain vehicle performance.
CAUTION!
The anti-pollution devices of the
vehicle require unleaded fuel to be
used at all times. Under no
circumstance, not even in an
emergency, should leaded fuel be
supplied to the fuel tank, not even a
minimum quantity. This would
irreparably damage the catalytic
converters. An inefficient catalytic
converter results in noxious exhaust
emissions which damage the
environment.
Gasoline Containing Alcohol & Ethers
(Oxygenated Fuels)
Some fuels in some geographical
areas, contain “oxygenates” which are
usually alcohols or ethers. The fuel
station service pumps with oxygenated
fuels must be clearly marked indicating
use of alcohols or ethers.
Please be aware that in some
geographic areas fuel stations may
have fueling pumps that are
unmarked. If you are not sure if the
fuel you will be dispensing into your
vehicle contains alcohol or ethers, ask
the fuel service station operator or
change station.
CAUTION!
Some geographic areas, require the
use of “oxygenated” fuels to meet
seasonal air quality standards.
• Alcohol - Ethanol: Fuels containing
ONLY up to 10% ethanol by volume
may be used (ethanol may also be
referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or
“Gasohol”.
• Ethers - MTBE: Fuel containing ONLY
up to 15% MTBE may be used. Do
not use any gasoline that contains
lead as a knock inhibitor, and DO
NOT use lead additives.
The use of detergent gasoline is
effective in minimizing fuel injector
and intake valve deposits.
The use of external fuel injector
cleaning systems/fluids is NOT
recommended.
MMT in Gasoline
MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl
Manganese Tricarbonyl) is a
manganese containing metallic
additive that is blended into some
gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline
blended with MMT provides no
performance advantage beyond
gasoline of the same octane number
without MMT. Maserati recommends
that gasoline
without MMT to be used
in your vehicle.
The MMT content of gasoline may not
be indicated on the gasoline pump;
therefore, you should ask the gasoline
station operator whether or not the
gasoline contains MMT.
Fuel Requirements — Diesel
Engine
Use good quality diesel fuel from a
reputable supplier. If the vehicle is
exposed to extreme cold (below
–7°C/20°F), or is required to operate at
colderthan- normal conditions for
prolonged periods, use climatized No.
2 diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel
fuel with 50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This
will provide better protection from
Driving
