MOBILITYRefueling

The use of poor quality fuels may result in
harmful engine deposits or damage.
Additionally, problems re lating to driveability,
starting and stalling, es pecially under certain
environmental conditions such as high ambient
temperatures and high altitudes, may occur.
If driveability problems are encountered, we
recommend switching to a high quality gasoline
brand and a higher octane grade - AKI number -
for a few tankfuls. To avoid harmful engine
deposits, it is highly recommended to purchase
gasoline from BP or Top Tier retailers.
Failure to comply with these recommendations
may result in a need for unscheduled mainte-
nance. <
