Fuel Additives; Filling The Tank - Chevrolet 2015 Corvette Owner's Manual

9-42 Driving and Operating
Some petrol, mainly high octane
racing petrol, can contain an
octane-enhancing additive called
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use petrol
and/or fuel additives with MMT as
they can reduce spark plug life and
affect emission control system
performance. The malfunction
indicator lamp may turn on. If this
occurs, see your dealer for service.

Fuel Additives

Petrol should contain detergent
additives that help prevent engine
and fuel system deposits from
forming. Clean fuel injectors and
intake valves will allow the emission
control system to work properly.
Some petrol does not contain
sufficient quantities of additive to
keep fuel injectors and intake valves
clean. To make up for this lack of
detergency, add Fuel System
Treatment PLUS to the fuel tank at
every engine oil change or every
15.000 km, whichever occurs first.
It is available at your dealer.

Filling the Tank

Warning
Fuel vapours and fuel fires burn
violently and can cause injury or
death.
To help avoid injuries to you
and others, read and follow
all the instructions on the fuel
pump island.
Turn off the engine when
refuelling.
Keep sparks, flames, and
smoking materials away
from fuel.
Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended.
Do not reenter the vehicle
while pumping fuel.
Keep children away from the
fuel pump and never let
children pump fuel.
Warning (Continued)
Fuel can spray out if the
refuelling nozzle is inserted
too quickly. This spray can
happen if the tank is nearly
full, and is more likely in hot
weather. Insert the refuelling
nozzle slowly and wait for
any hiss noise to stop prior to
beginning to flow fuel
