RECOMMENDATION AND FUEL QUALITY INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION:





Hyundai Fuel System Cleaner Plus (P/N 00232-19047) is now the approved and recommended service product for complete fuel system cleaning during routine service and preventative maintenance.

NOTE:

^ A 20 ounce bottle treats up to 20 gallons of gasoline.

^ For use in all gasoline engines (MPI or GDI systems).

^ Can be used as often as 3,000 miles or at every oil change.

^ Cleans fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers.

^ Protects fuel level sending units against damage from sulfur content in fuel.

^ Cleans and protects critical fuel system components from corrosion.

^ Does not harm the emission system or leave behind combustion chamber deposits.

Regular use of Hyundai Fuel System Cleaner Plus with TECHRON(R) Technology can help address engine carbon deposit related conditions. By removing these deposits, an engine may experience restored engine performance and efficiency, smoother running idle, and cleaner tailpipe emissions.

USAGE NOTES:

^ A single tank (up to 20 gallons) treated with a 20 ounce bottle is sufficient for cleaning in normal cases. However; a second initial treatment on the next consecutive full tank may give additional benefits for engines with heavier accumulated deposit formation.

^ The product can be used as often as every 3,000 miles to maintain optimum cleanliness and is recommended to be used during every oil change as part of a preventative maintenance practice.

FUEL QUALITY INFORMATION:

Hyundai recommends the use of high-quality gasoline, including fuel advertised as Top Tier Detergent Gasoline, as well as periodic use of an approved Fuel System Cleaner.

This is especially important for vehicles equipped with gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines with advanced fuel delivery systems.

If use of poor quality gasoline is suspected, customer should be advised to refuel at a different fueling station or switch to a different brand of fuel.

Poor quality gasoline may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics:

^ Abnormal color and odor

^ Undissolved water

^ Sediments and suspended foreign substance

^ Cloudy appearance and (after settling) showing signs of separation

NOTE:
Refer to TSB # 10-FL-013 for details related to fuel quality testing.

If use of gasoline with a low content of deposit control additives is suspected, then recommend to the customer the exclusive use of high quality gasoline such as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline. These products help to avoid the build-up of engine deposits and are available in all octane grades.

For latest information and list of retailers of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go to the official website (www.toptiergas.com).

WARRANTY INFORMATION:

The use of the fuel system cleaner is a Customer Pay Item during time of routine maintenance and the cost is not reimbursable under warranty.
