FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
All gasoline engines are designed to meet all
emissions regulations and provide excellent
fuel economy and performance when using
high quality unleaded gasoline with a minimum
research octane rating (RON) of 91.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Over 40 automobile manufacturer's world wide
have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline
specifications (the World Wide Fuel Charter,
WWFC) which define fuel properties necessary
to deliver enhanced emissions, performance,
and durability for your vehicle. The manufac-
turer recommends the use of gasoline that
meets the WWFC specifications if they are
available.
Besides using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that contain
detergents, corrosion and stability additives are
recommended. Using gasolines that have these
additives may help improve fuel economy, re-
duce
emissions,
and
maintain
performance.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling and stumble. If you
experience these problems, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Methanol
(Methyl) is used in a variety of concentrations
when blended with unleaded gasoline. You may
find fuels containing 3% or more methanol
along with other alcohols called cosolvents.
Problems that result from using methanol/
gasoline blends are not the responsibility of the
vehicle
