3) Fuel System Specification
Use Only Unleaded Fuel Rated at 89 Octane or Higher ▶
Fuel quality and additives contained in fuel have a significant effect on power output, drivability,
and life of theengine.
Fuel with too low an octane number can cause engine knock.
Use of fuel with an octane number lower than 89 may damage engine and exhaust
system.
To prevent accidental use of leaded fuel, the nozzles for leaded fuel are larger, and will
not fit the fuel filler neck of your vehicle. -

Do Not Use Methanol ▶
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be used in vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage components of the fuel system.
Use of methanol may damage the fuel sys-tem. -
For safety reasons (particularly when using noncommercial fueling systems) fuel containers,
pumps and hoses must be properly earthed.
Static electricity build up can occur under certain atmospheric and fuel flow conditions i
f
unearthed hoses, particularly plastic, are fitted to the fuel-dispensing pump.
It is therefore recommended that earthed pumps with integrally earthed hoses be used, and
that storage containers be properly earthed during all noncommercial fueling operations.Vehicle Fueling from Drums or Storage Containers ▶
