GASOLINES
CONTAINING
ALCOHOL
lf you
decide
to
use
a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol),
be
sure
it's
octane
rating
is at least as
high
as
that recommended by
Honda. There are
two types of
"gasohol":
one containing ethanol,
and the other 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 fuels that contain alcohol
is not covered
under
the
warranty.
Honda cannot endorse
the
use of
fuels containing
methanol since evidence
of
their suiiability is
as
yet incomplete.
.
Before buying fuel
from an unfamiliar station, try to
find out if
the fuel
contains alcohol,
if it
does,
confirm the type
and
percentage
of
alcohol used.
lf
you
notice any
undesirable
operating symptoms
while
using
a
gasoline
that
contains
alcohol,
or
one
that you think contains alcohol, switch
to
a
gasoline that you
know does not contain alcohol.
