Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity:
17 L (4.5 US gallons)
Recommended Fuel:
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use.
Never use
gasoline that contains more
than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15%
ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains
85% ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause
performance problems and/or engine damage which may
not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not
use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not
store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers
over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.
•
Do not
add oil to gasoline.
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
•
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when
the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
•
Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 25 mm (1 inch)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
•
Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
•
Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Do not buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
•
Do not operate without the entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can cause a spark, which can ignite the
fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn
you and others and can damage property.
•
Always place fuel containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
•
Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on
a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets
or plastic truck-bed liners may insulate the
container and slow the loss of any static charge.
•
When practical, remove fuel-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and fuel the equipment
with its wheels on the ground.
•
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment
on a truck or trailer from a portable container,
rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.
•
If a fuel dispenser must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
•
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
•
Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or
conditioner opening.
•
Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
