GASOLINES CONTAINING
ALCOHOL
If you decide to use a gasoline containing
alcohol ("gasohol"),
be sure its
octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are two
types of "gasohol":
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 gasoline
containing
more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors.
NOTE:
l
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use
of such fuels are not covered under Power Equipment Warranties. Honda
cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of their
suitability
is as yet incomplete.
l
Before purchasing fuel from .an unfamiliar
station, try to confirm whether
the fuel contains
alcohol,
and to what percentage. If you notice any
undesirable
operating
symptoms
after
using a gasoline that
contains
alcohol, or one that you think contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline that
you know does not contain alcohol.
