FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTICE! Do not use unapproved gasoline, such as E85. Do
not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on
alternate fuels. This can damage the engine components. To
protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel
stabilizer into the fuel.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). Use gasoline without ethanol
or similar alcohol based additives. Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used
if required.
If the engine is routinely operated at altitudes over 5,000 ft (1,524
meters), it will be necessary to have a qualified technician modify the
engine for increased performance. Fuel should be a minimum of 85
octane/85 AKI (91 RON) to prevent decreased performance.
