Oxygenated Fuels
Oxygenated
Fuels
Some conventional fuels blended
with
alcohol
or
an
ether compound are available in some
locales
to
help reduce emissions
to
meet clean
air standards. These gasolines
are
collectively
referred
to
as
oxygenated fuels. If you plan
to
use
oxygenated fuel, check
that
it
is
unleaded
and meets the minimum octane rating and
blend requirement.
The
following fuel blends are EPA-approved
and have been approved
for
use
in your
scooter:
• Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) up
to
10%
by volume.
~Gasoline
containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name
Gasohol.
•
Methanol (methyl alcohol) up
to
5%
by
volume
that
contain cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors
to
protect the fuel system. Never
use
a blend containing more than
5%.
If you accidentally fill your fuel
tank
with
an
oxygenated
fuel containing higher percentages,
you may experience performance problems. To
resolve
the
problem, have your dealer drain
the
fuel tank and replace
with
the correct fuel.
Fuel
system
or
performance problems resulting
from
the
use
of
an oxygenated fuel containing
higher percentages are
not
covered by your
warranty.
