TIP
• This mark identifies the recommen-
ded fuel for this vehicle as specified
by European regulation (EN228).
• Check that gasoline nozzle has the
same identifier when fueling.
Your Benelli engine has been designed to
use premium unleaded gasoline with a
research octane number of 95 or higher.
If knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a ga-
soline of a different brand.
Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark
plug life and reduce maintenance costs.

Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol
containing ethanol and that containing
methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
the ethanol content does not exceed 10%
(E10). Gasohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Benelli because it can
cause damage to the fuel system or vehi-
cle performance problems.
