Fuel
Check the fuel gauge and refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Do not fill
above the UPPER LEVEL line.
Your engine- is designed to use any gasoline that has a pump octane
number (y)
of 86 or higher, or that has a research octane number
of 91 or higher. Gasoline pumps at service station normally diSplay the
pump octane number.
We recommend that you use unleaded fuel because'it produces fewer
engine and spark'plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system
components.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid
getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. Use of a lower octane gasoline
can cause persistent "pinging" or heavy "spark knock" (a metallic
rapping
noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.
CAUTION: If "spark knock!' or "pinging" occurs at a steady engine
speed under, normal Iqad, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or
pinging persists, consult your authorized Honda dealer. Failure to do so is
considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered' by
Honda's LiMited -Warranty.
Occasionally yoti'may experience light spark knock while operating under.
heavy loads. This is no cause for concern, it simply means your engine is
operating efficiently.
