FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane.
• These engines are certi ed to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces
fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.
• Never use stale or contaminated gasol ine or an oi l/ gasol ine mixture. Avoid getting dirt or
water in the fuel tank.
• Occasionally you may hear a light "spark knock" or "ping ing" (metallic rapping noise) while
operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.
• If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change
brands of gasoline. If spark knock or ping ing persists, see an authorized servicing dealer.
