B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used in your Hyundai.However, if your engine develops drive ability problems, the use of 100% un- leaded gasoline is recommended. Fu-els with unspecified quantities of alco- hol, or alcohols other than ethanol, should not be used.
B010A01O-GAT Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Oc- tane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher must be used inHyundai vehicle. If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause the catalytic con- verter to become ineffective and theemission control system to malfunc- tion. This can also result in increased main-tenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline at servicestations can not be inserted into fuel tank opening of your Hyundai.
NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai
vehicles are designed to use leaded gasoline. When you aregoing to use leaded gasoline, ask to Hyundai dealer whether leaded gasoline in your vehicleis available or not.
o Octane rating of leaded gasoline
is same with unleaded one.
Use Diesel Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is the correct rating to use in your Hyundai. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properlyaccording to the following temperature conditions.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type
diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If the engine stops through fuel failure, the circuits must be com- pletely purged to permit restarting. CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water enter the tank. This would makeit necessary to drain it out and to bleed the lines to avoid jamming the injection pump and damag-ing the engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down
incidents due to freezing, paraf-fin oil may be added to the fuel if the temperature drops to below -10°C. Never use more than 20% paraffin oil.

CAUTION:
The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use of incorrect fuels. DIESEL ENGINES Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is the correct rating to use in your Hyundai Terracan. If two types of diesel fuel areavailable, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the following tem- perature conditions.
o Above 23°F (-5°C) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below 23°F (-5°C) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle willresult in irreversible pollution of thecatalyst element. Such pollution will prevent correct operation of the cata- lyst and give rise to increased operatingtemperatures leading to the catalyst element melting and restricting the ex- haust flow along with an increase inexhaust emission levels.
Watch the fuel level in the tank verycarefully : If the engine stops due to fuelfailure, the circuits must be completely purged to permit restarting.
CAUTION:
Do not let any petrol or water enterthe tank. If this happens, the tank should be completely drained andthe fuel lines should all be cleaned out. This will stop the fuel pump from becoming contaminated. ZB010C1-E "Alternative fuels" Fuels which contain methanol or etha- nol must not be used.FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
B010A01HP-EAT PETROL ENGINES THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OP- ERATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL. SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULTFROM THE USE OF LEADED FUEL. Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Number (RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this vehicle.To prevent accidental filling of the fuel tank with leaded fuel, a small diameter filler neck along with a restrictor flapare fitted to ensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzles may enter the filler neck. However, care must be exer-cised when refuelling the vehicle tank from jerry cans or by means of a funnel that the fuel being used is unleaded.
