are being marketed along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more than

lems and damage the fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
drivability problems occur. Vehicle dam-

methanol. Discontinue use of any
gasohol product which impairs dri-
vability.
