3. Check the fuel level
Raise the rear body and check the fuel level.
Refill the tank to the upper level mark if necessary. Do not fill the fuel tank
above the UPPER level mark.
Your engine F designed to use any gasoline that has a pump octane
number ( ’
M ) of 86 or higher,
or that has a research oc-
tane number zf 91 or higher. Gasoline pumps at service station normally
display the pump octane number.
We recommend that you use unleaded fuel because it produces fewer
engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system
components.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid
getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. Use of a lower octane gasoline
can cause.persistent “pinging” or heavy “spark knock” (a metallic rapping
norse) whrch, If severe, can lead to engine damage.
CAUTION: If “spark knock” or “pinging” occurs at a steady engine speed
under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging
persists, consult your authorized Honda dealer. Failure to do so is con-
sidered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered by Honda’s
Limited Warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark knock while operating under
heavy loads. This is no cause for concern, it simply means your engine is
operating efficiently.
After refueling, be sure to tighten the fuel tank cap firmly.
