WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive
under certain conditions. To reduce the risk of a fire
or explosion:
Always shut off the engine (B) before refueling.
Refuel in a well–ventilated area.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the
area where the engine is refueled or where the
gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the tank. Make sure the filler cap
is securely closed after refueling.
Be careful not to spill fuel when fueling. Fuel
vapor or spilled fuel can ignite. If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting
the engine.
1. Fuel specifications. Use automotive gasoline
with a pump octane number of 86 or higher. If the
engine knocks or pings, use a higher octane
gasoline. Unleaded fuel minimizes combustion
chamber deposits.

more than 5% methanol.
NOTE: The HONDA engine warranty does not cover
damage resulting from the use of gasolines containing
alcohol. See the HONDA engine manual for more
information.

contaminated gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust or
water in the fuel tank.
