GASOLINES CONTAINING
ALCOHOL
If
you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol ("gasohol"), be sure the
octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are
t w o types
of
"gasohol" one 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:
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.
Before purchasing fuel from
an unfamiliar station,
try
t o
confirm
whether the fuel contains alcohol, and t o w h a t percentage. If you notice
any undesirable operating symptoms after using a gasoline that you
k n o w or suspect contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline that you are sure
does not contain alcohol.
