Oxygenated Gasoline
To help in meeting clean air standards,
some areas of the U.S. use oxygenated
gasoline to help reduce harmful
emissions. These gasolines are a blend
of conventional gasoline and another
compound such as alcohol. This Triumph
motorcycle will give its best performance
when using unleaded gasoline. However,
the following should be used as a guide
if you use any oxygenated fuels.
Ethanol
Ethanol fuel is a mixture of 10% Ethanol
and 90% gasoline and is often described
under the names 'gasohol', 'Ethanol
enhanced', or 'contains Ethanol'. This
fuel may be used in your Triumph
motorcycle.
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
The use of gasolines containing up to
15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
is permitted in this Triumph motorcycle.
Methanol
Caution
Fuels containing methanol should not
be used as damage to components in
the fuel system can be caused by
contact with methanol.
Caution
Because of the generally higher
volatility of oxygenated fuels, starting,
engine response and fuel
consumption may be adversely
affected by their use. Should any of
these difficulties be experienced, run
the motorcycle on normal unleaded
gasoline.
Warning
To help reduce hazards associated
with refuelling, always observe the
following fuel safety instructions:
Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable and
can be explosive under certain
conditions. When refuelling, turn the
ignition switch to the 'OFF' position.
Do not smoke.
Do not use a mobile telephone.
Make sure the refuelling area is well
ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.
Never fill the tank until the fuel level
rises into the filler neck. Heat from
sunlight or other sources may cause
the fuel to expand and overflow
creating a fire hazard.
After refuelling always check that the
fuel filler cap is correctly closed and
locked.
Because gasoline (fuel) is highly
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or
any failure to observe the safety
advice given above will lead to a fire
hazard, which could cause damage to
property, injury to persons or death.
