California Fuel; Requirements; Fuels In Foreign Countries; Fuel Additives - Chevrolet City Express 2018 Owner's Manual

Warning (Continued)
Under no circumstances
should either a leaded
gasoline or gasoline with
MMTbe used. Doing so will
damage the catalytic
converter.
Do not use E85 fuel in your
vehicle. Your vehicle is not
designed to run on E85 fuel.
Using E85 fuel in a vehicle
not specifically designed for
E85 fuel can adversely
damage the emission
control devices and systems
of the vehicle. Damage
caused by such fuel is not
covered by the new vehicle
limited warranty.
Some gasolines, mainly high octane
racing gasolines, can contain an
octane-enhancing additive called
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use
gasolines and/or fuel additives with
MMT as they will reduce spark plug
life and affect emission control
system. The malfunction indicator
lamp may turn on. If this occurs, see
your dealer for service.

California Fuel

Requirements

If the vehicle is certified to meet
California Emissions Standards, it is
designed to operate on fuels that
meet California specifications. See
the underhood emission control
label. If this fuel is not available in
states adopting California Emissions
Standards, the vehicle will operate
satisfactorily on fuels meeting
federal specifications, but emission
control system performance may be
affected. The malfunction indicator
lamp could turn on and the vehicle
may not pass a smog-check test.
See Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Check Engine Light) 0 91. If this
occurs, return to your authorized
dealer for diagnosis. If it is
determined that the condition is
caused by the type of fuel used,
repairs may not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Driving and Operating
Fuels in Foreign
Countries
The U.S., Canada, and Mexico post
fuel octane ratings in anti-knock
index (AKI). For fuel not to use in a
foreign country, see Prohibited
Fuels in Fuel 0 170.

Fuel Additives

To keep fuel systems clean, TOP
TIER detergent gasoline is
recommended. See Fuel 0 170.
If TOP TIER detergent gasoline is
not available, one bottle of GM Fuel
System Treatment Cleaner added to
the fuel tank at every engine oil
change, can help. GM Fuel System
Treatment Cleaner is the only
gasoline additive recommended by
General Motors. It is available at
your dealer.
