Use gasoline with a pump octane rating
of
86
or
higher.
We recommend unleaded gasoline because it produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale
or
contaminated gasoline
or
oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt
or
water
in
the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear light'spark knock"
or
"pinging" (metallic rapping noise)
while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern
if spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed. under normal load, change
brands
of
gasoline. If spark knock
or
pinging persists, see an authorized generator
dealer.

Oxygenated
Fuels
Some gasoline are blended with alcohol
or
an ether compound to increase the octane
These gasoline are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. some areas
of
the
United States use oxygenated fuels to help meet clean air standards.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure its pump octane rating is 86 or higher.
Ethanol
(ethyl
or
grain
alcohol)
Gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol by volume may cause starting
or
performance problems. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under: the name
"Gasohol".
Methanol
(methyl
or
wood
alcohol)
Gasoline containing methanol must contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to
protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than
5¾
methanol by volume may
cause starting and/or performance problems and may damage metal. rubber and
plastic parts
of
your fuel system.
