3.2 FUEL
Fuel Recommendations
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane.
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline
produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.
• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid
getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
• Occasionally you may hear a light ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’ (metallic rapping
noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.
• If a spark knocks or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load,
change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized
servicing dealer.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY: 1.4L (0.370 US Gal, 0.31 Imp Gal)
• Do not use pressurized starting uids.
• Vapors are ammable.
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
