Fuel Tank

The machine has one fuel tank, just behind the seat.

The tank capacity is 4.5 gallons (17 liters).
The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane

unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally

adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See also

Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel

is not allowed.
When operating below 32°F (0°C) use fresh, clean

winter grade gasoline to help insure good cold weather

starting.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended

fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can

attract moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas

can damage the fuel system of an engine while

in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel

system should be emptied before storage of

30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the

engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next

season. See Storage Instructions for additional

information. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage

may occur.
