Gasoline Containing Alcohol

Some gasoline sold at service stations contain alcohol although they may not be so identified.

Using 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 vehicle. If driveability problems are experienced as a result of using gasohol, it is recommended that the vehicle be operated on gasoline.

Methanol: Do not use gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol).  Using 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 vehicle warranty.
