Filling the Fuel Tank
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher
((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE by volume is acceptable.
•
Do not
use ethanol blends of gasoline, such
as E15 or E85, with more than 10% ethanol by
volume. Performance problems and/or engine
damage may result, which may not be covered
under warranty.
•
Do not
use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not
store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel
containers over the winter unless fuel stabilizer
has been added to the fuel.
•
Do not
add oil to gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline
from a major name-brand service station (
).
Important:
To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer/conditioner to fresh fuel as directed by
the fuel-stabilizer manufacturer.
Refer to your engine owner’s manual for additional
information.
