Additives
Gasolines Containing Alcohol - Some
gasolines sold contain alcohol although
they may not be so identified. Use
of gasolines with alcohol are not
recommended, unless the blend can be
determined as being satisfactory.
Gasohol - A mixture of 10% ethanol
(grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded
gasoline may be used. If driveability
problems are experienced as a result of
using gasohol, it is recommended that
the car is operated on gasoline.
Gasolines Containing MMT - Some
gasolines contain
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT), which is an octane
increasing additive. Such gasoines may
damage the emission control system
and are NOT recommended.
Ethanol E5 & E10 - A mixture of 5%
or 10% ethanol (grain alcohol) and
unleaded gasoline may be used but the
lower octane rating (typically 88 - 89
{RON+MON}/2) will result in slightly
reduced performance.
If driveability problems are experienced
as a result of using ethanol, use 90
(RON+MON)/2 unleaded gasoline. Do
not use Ethanol blends with a higher
concentration than 10%.
Methanol - Do not use gasolines
containing methanol (wood alcohol)
as this can result in performance
deterioration and damage to critical
parts in the fuel system.
