Oxygenated
Fuels
Some conventional
gasolines are being blended with alcohol or an
ether
compound.
These
gasolines
are collectively
referred
to as
oxygenated
fuels. To meet clean air standards,
some areas of the
United
States
and Canada
use oxygenated
fuels to help reduce
emissions.
If you use an oxygenated
fuel, be sure it is unleaded
and meets the
minimum
octane rating requirement.
Before using
an oxygenated
fuel, try to confirm
the fuel's
contents.
Some states/provinces
require
this information
to be posted
on the
pump.
The following
are the EPA-approved
percentages
of oxygenates:
ETHANOL -
MTBE
METHANOL ~
(ethyl or grain alcohol)
10% by volume
You may use
asoline containing
up to 10% ethanol
by volume.
8 asoline
containing
ethanol
may
be
marketed
under the name "Gasohol".
(Methyl
Tertiary
Butyl Ether) 15% by volume
You may use gasoline
containing
up to 15% MTBE
by volume.
(methyl
or wood alcohol)
5% by volume
You
may
use
gasoline
containing
up
to
5%
methanol
by volume,
as long
as it also contains
cosolvents
and corrosion
inhrbitors
to protect
the
fuel
system.
Gasoline
containing
more
than
5%
methanol
by volume
may
cause
starting
and/or
performance
problems.
It may also damage
metal,
rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.
If you notice any undesirable
operating
symptoms,
try another
service
station,
or switch to another
brand of gasoline.
Fuel system damage or performance
problems
resulting
from the use
of an oxygenated
fuel
containing
more
than
the
percentages
of
oxygenates
mentioned
above are not covered
under warranty.
