Fuel requirements
Using mixtures of ethanol and methanol is
not allowed. Gasohol, which contains
10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline,
can be used.
Only use premium unleaded fuel:
!
To maintain the engine’s durability and
performance, premium unleaded gaso-
line must be used. If premium unleaded
is not available and low octane fuel is
used, follow these precautions:
ț
The octane number (posted at the
pump) must be 91 min. It is an average
of both the Research (R) octane num-
ber and the Motor (M) octane number:
(R+M)/ 2). This is also known as the
ANTI-KNOCK INDEX.
These blends must also meet all other fuel
requirements, such as resistance to spark
knock, boiling range, vapor pressure, etc.
ț
have the fuel tank only partially
filled with unleaded regular and fill
up with premium unleaded as soon
as possible
Unleaded gasoline containing oxygenates
such as ethanol, IPA, IBA and TBA can be
used provided the ratio of any one of these
oxygenates to gasoline does not exceed
10%; MTBE must not exceed 15%.
ț
ț
avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration
The ratio of methanol to gasoline must not
exceed 3% plus additional cosolvents.
do not exceed an engine speed of
3000
rpm if the vehicle is loaded
with a light load such as two per-
sons and no luggage
ț
do not exceed 2/ of maximum ac-
3
celerator pedal position if the vehi-
cle is fully loaded or operating in
mountainous terrain
