Non-Blended Fuel Diagnostic Procedure - Kent-Moore J-44175-A Manuel D'instructions

ambient air is sufficient to dry it. The handle and
outside surfaces of the tester can be cleaned with
a damp cloth.
Important: Do not allow any substances other
than gasoline, ethanol/gasoline blends, air or
acetone into the test ports of the tester. Pure
acetone can be used to clean the tester's sensing
cell, if needed. Do not use any cleaners or solvents
other than pure acetone to clean the internal portion
of the test ports. The chemicals in those other liquids
could contaminate the sensing cell and cause a
misdiagnosis.
Once the unit has been air dried, return the tester
to the storage case and store in a cool, dry place.
NON-BLENDED FUEL
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
The term "non-blended fuel" used in this manual
refers to "normal" gasoline found at all fuel stations.
This fuel may be dispensed from pumps with signs
indicating "This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol."
Some fuel companies add up to 10% ethanol as
an octane improver, or as an oxygenate to reduce
exhaust emissions. The 10% level is the maximum
allowable by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). Ethanol concentrations of greater than
10%can cause driveability conditions and fuel
system deterioration. Excessive concentrations of
ethanol, used in vehicles not designed for it, may
cause driveability conditions. These include
hesitation, lack of power, stalling, fuel system
corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, fuel
filter restrictions, and no start.
