For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating
method).

Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE
by volume is acceptable.

Performance problems and/or engine damage may result,
which may not be covered under warranty.

Do not use gasoline containing methanol.

Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel
containers over the winter unless fuel stabilizer has been
added to the fuel.

Do not add oil to gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline from a
major name-brand service station

stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline
less than 30 days old.
