Mixing Fuel; Filling The Fuel Tank - Shindaiwa M2510 Owner's/Operator's Manual

Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!
Never use any type of gasoline
containing more than 10% alcohol
by volume! Some types of gasoline
contain alcohol as an oxygenate.
Oxygenated gasoline may cause
increased operating temperatures.
Under certain conditions, alcohol-
based gasoline may also reduce the
lubricating qualities of some 2-cycle
mixing oils. Generic oils and some
outboard oils may not be intended
for use in high-performance C4 type
engines, and should never be used
in your Shindaiwa engine.
