Gasoline Containing Alcohol
Some gasoline sold at service stations contain alcohol, although they may not be so identified. Use of fuels containing alcohol is not recommended unless the nature of the blend can be determined as being satisfactory.

Gasohol - A mixture of 10% ethanol (grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline may be used in your car.

If driveability problems are experienced as a result of using gasohol, it is recommended that the car be operated on gasoline.
Methanol - Do not use gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol). Use of this type of alcohol can result in vehicle performance deterioration and damage critical parts in the fuel system components. Fuel system damage and performance problems, resulting from the use of gasoline containing methanol, may not be covered by the new car warranty.

Gasoline containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
Unleaded gasoline containing 15% or less MTBE may be used in your car. Fuel containing MTBE over 15% vol. may cause reduced engine performance and produce vapor lock or hard starting.

MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents should be avoided. Many of these materials intended for gum and varnish removal may contain highly active solvents or similar ingredients that can be harmful to gasket and diaphragm materials used in fuel system component parts.
