Gasolines Containing Alkohol
If you decide to use a gasoline containing
alcohol ("gasohol"), be sure its octane
rating is at least as high as tht recom-
mended. There are two types of "gaso-
hol": that containing ethanol, and that
containing methanol. Do not use gasohol
that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do
not use gasoline containing methanol
(methyl or wood alcohol) that does not
also contain cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors for methanol. Never use gaso-
line containing more than 5% methanol
even if it has cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors.
NOTE:
Fuel system damage or vehicle per-
*
formance problems resulting from the
use of such fuels is not covered under
new Scooter Warranties. Honda cannot
endorse the use of fuels containing
methanol since evidence of their suit-
ability is as yet incomplete.
* Before purchasing fuel from an un-
familiar station, try to confirm wheth-
er the fuel contains alcohol, and to
what percentage. If you notice any un-
desirable operating symptoms after
using a gasoline that contains alcohol;
or one that you think contains alco-
hol, switch to a higher octane gasoline
as recommended.
