FUELING

WARNING: EXPLOSIVE FUEL!

GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE

AND ITS VAPORS CAN EXPLODE IF

IGNITED.

STORE GASOLINE ONLY IN APPROVED

CONTAINERS, IN WELL VENTILATED,

UNOCCUPIED BUILDINGS AND AWAY

FROM SPARKS OR FLAMES.

DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE THE

ENGINE IS HOT OR RUNNING, SINCE

SPILLED FUEL COULD IGNITE IF IT

COMES IN CONTACT WITH HOT PARTS OR

SPARKS FROM IGNITION. DO NOT START

THE ENGINE NEAR SPILLED FUEL.

NEVER USE GASOLINE AS A CLEANING

AGENT.

WARNING: DO NOT OVERFILL THE FUEL TANK,

LEAVE ROOM FOR THE FUEL TO EXPAND.

General Recommendations

• Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in clean,

approved containers.

• To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to

insure easy starting, do not use gasoline left over from

the previous season.

• Do not add oil to the gasoline.

Fuel Type

• For best results use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline

with a pump sticker octane rating of 87 or higher.

• Unleaded gasoline is recommended as it leaves less

combustion chamber deposits.

GASOLINE/ALCOHOL BLENDS:

Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline

by volume) is approved, as a fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol

blends are not approved.

GASOLINE/ETHER BLENDS:

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded gasoline

blends (up to a maximum of 15% MTBE by volume) are

approved as a fuel. Other gasoline/ether blends are not

approved.
