PRE-OPERATION
FUELING (continued):
General Recommendations
• Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in clean,
approved containers.
• To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to
insure easy starting, do not use gasoline left over from
the previous season.
• Do not add oil to the gasoline.
Fuel Type
• For best results use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline
with a pump sticker octane rating of 87 or higher.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended as it leaves less
combustion chamber deposits.

Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by
volume) is approved, as a fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol blends
are not approved.
GASOLINE/ETHER BLENDS:
Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded gasoline
blends (up to a maximum of 15% MTBE by volume) are approved
