FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use clean, fresh. @&keg gasolinewitha minimum of 85 octane. Leaded
gasoline may be used if it is commerciallyavailableand it unleadedis
unavailable.
InU.S.A. leadedgasoline may not be used. Some fuels, called oxygenated or
reformulated gasolines, are gasolines blended withalcohols or ethers. Excessive
amountsof these blendscan damagethe fuel system or cause performance
problems. If any undesirable operating symptoms occur, use gasolinewitha
lower percentage of alcohol or ether.
