GASOLINE CONTAINING
ALCOHOL
If you decide to use a gasoline
containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure
its octane rating is at least as high as
that recommended by Honda. There
are two types of ''gasohol'': one
containing ethanol, and the other
containing methanol.
Do not use gasohol that contains
more than 10% ethanol.
Do not use gasoline containing more
than 5% methanol (methyl or wood
alcohol) and that does not also
contain co-solvents and corrosion
inhibitors for methanol.
• Fuel system damage or engine
performance problems resulting
from the use of gasoline that
contains more alcohol than
recommended is not covered under
the warranty.
• Before buying gasoline from an
unfamiliar station, first determine if
the gasoline contains alcohol, if it
does, find out the type and
percentage of alcohol used.
If you notice any undesirable
operating symptoms while using a
particular gasoline. Switch to a
gasoline that you know contains
less than the recommended amount
of alcohol.
