Generalinformation For the best fuel efficiency, the gasolineshould be sulfur-free or very low in sulfur conjtent.
Fuels that are marked on the gas pump as conj taining metal must not be used.
Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of
10 %, i. e., E10, may be used for refueling.
Ethanol should meet the following quality standards:
US: ASTM 4806mxx
