l
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions.
l
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refueled or where gasoline is stored.
l
Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck.)
After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and secure-

l
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor
may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before
starting the engine.
l
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

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