GASOLINE
CONTAINING
DETERGENT
ADDITIVES
Toyota recommends the use of gasoline
that
contains
detergent
additives
avoid build−up of engine deposits.
However, all gasoline sold in the U.S.
contains detergent additives to keep clean

QUALITY GASOLINE
Automotive manufacturers in the U.S.,
Europe and Japan have developed a
specification
for
quality
fuel
named
World−Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that
is expected to be applied world wide.
The WWFC consists of four categories
that depend on required emission lev-
els. In the U.S., category 3 or 4 has
been adopted. The WWFC improves air
quality by providing for better emis-
sions in vehicle fleets, and customer
satisfaction through better vehicle per-
formance.

Cleaner burning gasoline, including re-
formulated gasoline that contains oxy-

available in many areas.

oline
provide
excellent
vehicle
mance, reduce vehicle emissions, and im-
prove air quality.

Toyota allows the use of oxygenate
blended gasoline where the oxygenate
content is up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE.

trol system may be adversely affected.

try changing gasoline brands. If this does
not rectify your problem, then consult your
Toyota dealer.
