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 con-
taining ethanol, and the other containing
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.
The use of petrol containing more than 10 %
ethanol (or more than 5 % methanol) may:
Damage the painting of the fuel tank.
Damage the rubber tubes of the fuel line.
Cause corrosion of the fuel tank.
Cause poor drivability.
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.
