MMTInGasoline
Some fuel suppliers blend unlead ed gasoline with oxy-
genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen-
ates are requ ired in som e areas of the country during the
winter months to red uce carbon monoxid e emissions.
Fuels blend ed with these oxygenates may be used in
you r vehicle.
MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is
blend ed into som e gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline
blend ed with MMT provid es no perform ance advantage
beyond gasoline of the sam e octane nu mber withou t
MMT. Gasoline blend ed with MMT red uces spark plug
life and red uces emission system perform ance in som e
vehicles. The manu factu rer recom mend s that gasoline
withou t MMT be used in you r vehicle. The MMT content
of gasoline may not be ind icated on the gasoline pump,
therefore, you shou ld ask you r gasoline retailer whether
or not his/ her gasoline contains MMT.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use gasoline containing METHANOL.
Gasoline containing methanol may damage critical
fuelsystemcomponents.
It is even more important to look for gasoline withou t
MMT in Canad a becau se MMT can be used at levels
higher than allow ed in the United States. MMT is pro-
hibited in Federal and California reform ulated gasoline.
