Fuel Additives (Bahrain And Qatar Only) - Cadillac Escalade ESV Owner's Manual

$10araEscalade.fm Page 313 Wednesday, October 14, 2009 9:52 AM
When switching between gasoline
and E-85 fuel, add at least 11 L of
fuel. Drive the vehicle immediately
after fueling for a minimum of 11
km.
Switching repeatedly between
gasoline and E-85 fuel is not
recommended.
To ensure quick starts in cold
weather, the E-85 fuel should be
formulated properly for your
climate.
For good starting and heater
efficiency at temperatures below
0°C, the fuel mix in your vehicle
should contain a maximum of
70% ethanol.
Fuel Additives (Bahrain
and Qatar Only)
Gasoline should contain detergent
additives that will help prevent
engine and fuel system deposits
from forming. Clean fuel injectors
and intake valves will allow your
emission control system to work
properly. Some gasoline does not
contain sufficient quantities of
additive to keep fuel injectors and
intake valves clean. To make up
for this lack of detergency, it is
recommended that GM Fuel
System Treatment PLUS (GM part
no. 88861011) be added to the
fuel tank at every oil change or
every 15000 km, whichever occurs
first.
Section 4
Gasoline containing oxygenates,
such as ethers and ethanol,
may be available in your area.
However, fuels containing more
than 10% ethanol, such as E-85
(85% ethanol), or more than
15% MTBE (an ether) should not
be used in vehicles that were not
designed for those fuels.
See "Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants" for more information.
