Filling the Fuel Tank
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE
by volume is acceptable.
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains more
than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15%
ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains
up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may
cause performance problems and/or engine damage
which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel
containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline from a
major name-brand service station
Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline
less than 30 days old.
