FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Use Unleaded Gasoline
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in Hyundai
vehicle. If leaded gasoline is used, it
will cause the catalytic converter to
become ineffective and the emission
control system to malfunction. This
can also result in increased mainte-
nance expense. To avoid accidental
use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle
used with leaded gasoline at service
stations can not be inserted into fuel
tank opening of Hyundai vehicle.
NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai ve-
hicles are designed to use leaded
gasoline. When you are going to
use leaded gasoline, ask to
Hyundai dealer whether leaded
gasoline in your vehicle is avail-
able or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gaso-
line is same with unleaded one.
Use Diesel
Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in
Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel
B010A01TB
fuel are available, use summer or win-
ter fuel properly according to the fol-
lowing temperature conditions.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
o Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type
diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops through
fuel failure, the circuits must be com-
pletely purged to permit restarting.
!
CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water
enter the tank. This would make
it necessary to drain it out and to
bleed the lines to avoid jamming
the injection pump and damag-
ing the engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down
incidents due to freezing, paraf-
fin oil may be added to the fuel if
the temperature drops to below -
10°C. Never use more than 20%
paraffin oil.

What About Gasohol?
Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded
gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain
alcohol) may be used in your Hyundai.
However, if your engine develops
driveability problems, the use of 100%
unleaded gasoline is recommended.
Fuels with unspecified quantities of
alcohol, or alcohols other than ethanol,
should not be used.
