Fuel Tank

The machine has one fuel tank, just behind the seat.

The tank capacity is 4.5 gallons (17 liters).
The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane

unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally

adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See also

Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel

is not allowed.
When operating below 32°F (0°C) use fresh, clean

winter grade gasoline to help insure good cold weather

starting.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended

fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)

can attract moisture which leads to separation

and formation of acids during storage. Acidic

gas can damage the fuel system of an engine

while in storage. To avoid engine problems,

the fuel system should be emptied before

storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas

tank, start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh

fuel the next season. See Storage Instructions

for additional information. Never use engine

or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or

permanent damage may occur.
