Petrol Containing Alcohol
If you
decide
to use
a petrol containing
alcohol (gasohol), be sure it's octane rating
is at least as high as that recommended by
Honda. There are two types of "gasohol":
one containing ethanol, and the other con-
taining methanol.
Do
not use petrol that
contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use
petrol containing methanol (methyl or wood
alcohol)
that
does
not
also
contain
cosolvents
and
corrosion
inhibitors
for
methanol. Never use petrol containing more
than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents
and corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE:
* Fuel system damage or engine performa-
nce problems resulting from the use of
fuels that contain alcohol is not covered
under
the
warranty.
Honda
cannot
endorse
the
use
of
fuels
containing
methanol
since
evidence
of
their
suitability is as yet incomplete.
* Before
buying fuel from an unfamiliar
station, try to find out if the fuel contains
alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and
percentage of alcohol used. If you notice
any
undesirable
operating
symptoms
while using a petrol that contains alcohol,
or one that you think contains alcohol,
switch to a petrol that you know does not
contain alcohol.
