Gasoline
This model’s engine is designed to use
premium unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 91
or higher, or a research octane number
(RON) of 95 or higher. If knocking or
pinging occurs, try a gasoline of a dif-
ferent brand.
ECA15591
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the piston rings as well as to
the exhaust system.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol should not
be used as it can cause engine or fuel
system problems.
Filling the fuel tank
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up,
heat from the engine or the sun
can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a clean,
dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can cau-
se injury or death. Handle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If
gasoline spills on your skin, wash
