Oxygenated Fuels

Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional fuels blended with
alcohol or an ether compound are available
in some locales to help reduce emissions to
meet clean air standards.
These gasolines are collectively referred to
as oxygenated fuels. If you plan to use
oxygenated fuel, check that it is unleaded
and meets the minimum octane rating and
blend requirement.
236
The following fuel blends have been
approved for use in your vehicle:
●
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) up to 10% by
volume.
u Gasoline containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name Gasohol.
● Do not use gasoline containing methanol
(methyl alcohol).
If you accidentally fill your fuel tank with an
oxygenated fuel containing higher
percentages, you may experience
performance problems. To resolve the
problem, have your dealer drain the fuel
tank and replace with the correct fuel. Fuel
system or performance problems resulting
from the use of an oxygenated fuel
containing higher percentages are not
covered by your warranty.
NOTICE
Improper use of oxygenated fuels can damage metal,
rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.
Oxygenated fuel can also damage paint. Damage
caused by spilled fuel is not covered by warranty.
If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms or performance problems, try a
different brand of gasoline.
