Gasoline containing alcohol
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating
is at least as high as that recommended by us. 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
cosolevents 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. We cannot endorse the
use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of their suitability 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. If you notice
any undesirable operating symptoms while using a gasoline that contains alcohol,
switch to gasoline that you know does not contain alcohol.
3.3 Check the air cleaner
Check the air cleaner elements to be sure they are clean and in good condition.
Open the left side maintenance cover. Remove the air cleaner cover, remove the
paper element from the air cleaner cover, and check the both elements, clean or
replace the element(s) if necessary, see fig.7.
