2–2 STARTING AND OPERATING
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Commercially available high-quality fuels are
suitable. Fuel quality has a decisive influence
on the power output, driveability and life of
the engine. The additives contained in the
fuel play an important role in this connec-
tion. You should therefore use only high-
quality fuels containing additives.
Fuel with too low an octane number can
cause pre-ignition (detonation). Daewoo can
not be held liable for resultant damage.
Fuel with a higher octane number may be
used.
CAUTION
Engine and exhaust system will be
damaged.
Do not use leaded fuel to the vehicle
for unleaded fuel.
It is not covered by warranty.
NOTE
To avoid accidental filling of leaded
fuel, the larger nozzles for leaded
fuel fillers cannot be inserted into
the fuel filler for unleaded fuel.
Do not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol)
should not be used in your Daewoo. This
type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance
and damage components of the fuel system.
NOTE
The warranty policy will not cover
damage of the fuel system and any
performance problems that are
caused by the use of methanol or
fuel containing methanol.
Operation in Foreign Countries
If you are going to drive your Daewoo in
another country, be sure to :
• Observe all regulations regarding regis-
tration and insurance.
• Check that a suitable fuel is available.
Vehicle Fuelling from Drums or Storage
Containers
For safety reasons (particularly when us-
ing noncommercial fuelling systems) fuel
containers pumps and hoses must be prop-
erly earthed.
Static electricity build up can occur under
certain atmospheric and fuel flow conditions
if unearthed hoses, particularly plastic, are
fitted to the fuel dispensing pump.
It is therefore recommended that earthed
pumps with integrally earthed hoses be
used, and that storage containers be prop-
erly earthed during all non-commercial fuel-
ling operations.
