FUELING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.

FUEL SPECIFICATIONS

Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number of 86
or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91 or higher.
If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a steady
i
engine speed under normal load, change brands
of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists,
consult an authorized dealer of the engine
manufacturer. Failure to do so is considered
misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not
covered by the engine manufacturer's limited
warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark
knock while operating under heavy loads. This
is no cause for concern, it simply means your
engine is operating efficiently.
•
Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system
components.
•
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline
mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
Be sure the octane rating is at least as high as that recommended
by the engine manufacturer. Do not use gasohol that contains
more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing
methanol.
Fuel system damage or engine performance
i
problems resulting from the use of fuels that
contain alcohol is not covered under the
warranty.
