Fuels containing MMT can reduce the life of spark
plugs and the performance of the emission control
system may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp
may turn on. If this occurs, return to your authorized
GM dealer for service.
To provide cleaner air, all gasolines in the United States
are now required to contain additives that will help
prevent engine and fuel system deposits from forming,
allowing your emission control system to work properly.
You should not have to add anything to your fuel.
Gasolines containing oxygenates, such as ethers and
ethanol, and reformulated gasolines may be available in
your area to contribute to clean air. General Motors
recommends that you use these gasolines, particularly if
they comply with the specifications described earlier.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that
contains methanol. Don't use fuel containing
methanol. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel
system and also damage plastic and rubber parts.
That damage wouldn't be covered under your
warranty.
Fuel E-85 (85% Ethanol)
The 8th digit of your vehicle identification number
(VIN) shows the code letter or number that identifies
your engine. You will find the VIN at the top left of the
instrument panel. See ªVehicle Identification Numberº
in the Index.
If your vehicle has the 2200 L4 engine (VIN Code 5),
you may use either regular unleaded gasoline or ethanol
fuel containing up to 85% ethanol (E
-85); also see
ªFuel (Gasoline)º listed previously. If your vehicle has
the 4.3L V6 engine use only regular unleaded gasoline.
Only vehicles with the 2200 L4 engine (VIN Code 5)
may use 85% ethanol fuel (E
-85).
Many service stations will not have an 85% ethanol
fuel (E
-85) pump available. The U. S. Department
of Energy has an alternative fuels website
(http://afdcmap.nrel.gov/nrel/) that can help you find E
-85
fuel. Those stations that do have E
-85 should have a label
indicating ethanol content. Do not use the fuel if the
ethanol content is greater than 85%. Your vehicle may not
operate properly if the ethanol content is greater than 85%.
At a minimum, E
-85 should meet
ASTM Specification D 5798.
