Fueling
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive un-
der
certain conditions.
Always shut of
f the engine before refueling.
Refuel in a well–ventilated area.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area
where
the engine is refueled or where
the gasoline is
stored.
Do not overfill the tank. Make sure the gas fill cap is
securely closed after refueling.
Be
careful not to spill fuel when fueling. Fuel vapor
or
spilled fuel can ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure
the
area is dry before starting the engine.
1. Fuel specifications. Use automotive gasoline with
a pump octane number [(R + M)/2] of 86 or higher,
or a research octane number of 91 or higher.
Unleaded fuel minimizes combustion chamber
deposits.
2. Gasolines containing alcohol (gasohol). Do not
use
gasohol which contains methanol, if the gasohol
does
not contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors
for
methanol. Even if it does contain such
additives,
do not use the gasohol if it contains more than 5%
methanol.
NOTE: The HONDA engine warranty does not cover
damage
resulting from the use of gasolines containing al
-
cohol.
