FILLING GAS TANK
Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the gas tank
must be filled to its specified capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particularly if the tank is filled
with cold gasoline and then moved to a warm area.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank.
RECOMMENDED GASOLINE
The recommended gasoline to use is 87 minimum octane
regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to
the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10%
ethanol or 5% methanol are acceptable gasolines.
