●In places where gasoline is stored or handled, shutdown the engine,
do not smoke, and keep away from naked flame or spark.
●Refueling shall be made in a well ventilated place. After refueling,
immediately clean off any gasoline outside the fuel tank.
Please #93 or #95 (GB17930-1999) unleaded gasoline. This may
prolong the service life of spark plug.
Note!
If the engine produces ping noise, it may be caused by using of improper
fuel. Replace with correct fuel.
The use of improper gasoline will cause severe damage to
internal engine parts, such as the valves and piston rings, as
well as to the exhaust system.
Alcohol gasoline
If alcohol-gasoline is used, please use #90 or higher conforming to
GB18351-2004. To ensure service life of EFI parts, please use
alcohol-gasoline blends (below E10) for EFI type vehicle. Do not
use methanol gasoline, even though it may contain cosolvent and
anti-corrosion agent.
Note!
●If alcohol-gasoline is exposed to water excessively, ethanol may be
separated, resulting in decrease of gasoline octane number. Therefore, the
storage time shall not be too long.
●Before using alcohol-gasoline for the first time, make a through
cleaning of the fuel supply system and fuel tank.
●Always buy a proper amount of alcohol-gasoline. Once there is a poor
fuel tank sealing or a long storage time, moisture content may increase,
causing low octane number and resulting in difficult ignition or weak power.
