WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or
death. Handle gasoline with care. Never si-
phon gasoline by mouth. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see
your doctor immediately. If gasoline spills on
your skin, wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use
regular unleaded gasoline with a research octane
number of 91 or higher. If knocking or pinging oc-
curs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium
unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will give you longer
spark plug life and reduced maintenance cost.

Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol contain-
ing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol
containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content
does not exceed 10% (E10). Gasohol containing
methanol is not recommended by Yamaha be-
cause it may cause fuel system damage or vehicle
performance problems.
Recommended fuel:
Unleaded gasoline only
For Europe: Regular unleaded gasoline
only with a research octane
number of 91 or higher
Fuel tank capacity:
28.5 L (7.53 US gal, 6.27 Imp.gal)

Portable gas containers
If you carry a portable gas can in the bed of the
Rhino, be sure to secure it with the cap tightened
before driving the vehicle.
Always place a portable gas container on the
ground before filling it. Before removing the con-
tainer cap, touch the container with the gas dis-
penser nozzle. Keep gas dispenser nozzle in
contact with container inlet when filling.
WARNING! Never refill a fuel container in the
bed of any vehicle. Fire may result from a
build-up of static electricity. The discharge of
this build-up while refueling can cause a spark
and ignite the gasoline.
