Oxygenated or reformulated gasoline, is mixed with
alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of these
blends can damage the fuel system or cause perfor-
mance problems. If any operating problems occur,
use gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or
ether.
Use clean regular grade unleaded fuel. The Ethanol
blend fuel up to 10% is permitted.
Do not use gasoline that contains methanol.
High altitude or heavy use/load applications can benefit
from higher octane gasoline.
FUEL TANK
The fuel tank is located under the seat, on the passenger
side of the vehicle. Fill tank with fresh, clean, automotive
grade, unleaded, 87 octane (minimum) gasoline. Heavy
use/load applications may benefit from higher octane
gasoline.
Early Production Fuel Tank
Always allow enough space for the expansion
of gasoline. Leave at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of
space below bottom of filler neck.
Early production fuel tanks can be identified by the loca-
tion of the fuel cap which is located in the middle of the
top of the tank as shown.
Early production fuel tanks require enough space for the
expansion of the gasoline. Leave at least 1-inch (2.5 cm)
of space below the bottom of the filler neck
Figure. 3 Fuel Tank
Late Production Fuel Tank
Late production fuel tanks can be identified by the loca-
tion of the fuel cap which is located in the rear of the top
of the tank as shown
Late production fuel tanks are designed to allow for fuel
expansion and do NOT require space below bottom of
filler neck
Figure. 4 Fuel Tank
When refueling, inspect the fuel tank cap for
leaks or breaks in the housing that could result
in fuel spillage.
To prevent a possible explosion, do not smoke
near the fuel tank or refuel near open fire or
electrical items which could produce a spark.
Always wear safety glasses while refueling to
prevent possible injury from gasoline or gaso-
line vapor.
Do not handle fuel in an area that is not ade-
quately ventilated. Do not permit anyone to
smoke in an area where vehicles are being
fueled.
BATTERY
Heavy use of accessories drains the battery which
can leave insufficient reserve to start the vehicle.
The vehicle uses a starter/generator to start the engine
and charge the battery. The engine will not idle. The bat-
tery does not charge while the vehicle is stopped. Do not
operate lights and other accessory items excessively
while the vehicle is stopped.
The generator can supply 35 amps. Operation of all
