Fuel Quality
If you are exp eriencing starting, rou gh idle or
hesitation problem s when the engine is cold , it
may be cau sed by fuel with low volatility. Try a
different brand of fuel. If the cond ition persists,
see you r dealer or a qu alified service technician.
Using a high-qu ality fuel makes you r vehicle
more resp onsive and maintains its good fuel
econom y and emissions by:
❑protecting you r fuel system from ru sting.
❑protecting you r fuel lines from freezing.
❑improving vehicle starting and warm -up.
❑
protecting the fuel system from vap or lock in
very hot weather, which cau ses the engine to
hesitate or stall and makes restarts difficult.
❑
minim izing deposits in fuel injectors,
com bu stion cham bers and on intake valves.
❑
preventing the fuel system from “gu mming
up” when you r vehicle is not used for long
period s of tim e.
It shou ld not be necessary to ad d any
afterm arket prod ucts to you r fuel tank if you
continu e to use a high-qu ality fuel.
