alternate fuels. This will damage the engine components
and void the engine warranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel
stabilizer into the fuel. All fuel is not the same. If starting
or performance problems occur, change fuel providers
or change brands. This engine is certified to operate on
gasoline. The emissions control system for this engine is
