about
gasoline
with
blending materials that contain oxygen
(oxygenates). such
a s
MTBE or alcohol?
MTBE is "nlethyl tcl-tiary-butyl ether. Fuel
that
is
11o more ttlan 15%
MTRE is fine for your vehicle.
Etimol is ethyl or grain alcohol. Propcriy-blended fuel that is no more
than
10% ctizwtol is fine for
your velliclc.
" c l u r m d is methyl or wood alcohol.
.,
Fuel that is more than 5% methanol is
bad
for your vehicle.
Don't use it. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and
also damage plastic and rubber parts. That damage wouldn't be
covered under your warranty And even at 5% or less, there must
be "cosolvents" and corrosion preventers i n this fuel to help
avoid these problems.

recommends that

gasolines with these blending materials. such as
MTBE and ethanol. By doing so. you
can
help clean the air, especially in
those parts of the county that have high carbon monoxide levels.
In addition. some gasoline suppliers are
m v
producing reformulated
gasolines. These gasoiirm are speciallv designed to reduce vehicle
emissions. General Motors recornrnshs that you use reformulated
gasoline. By doing so, you can help clean the air, especially in those parts
of the country that have high ozone levels.
You should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain
deposit control additives and oxygenates,
and if they
have been
reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions.
