Petrol containing alcohol and
methanol
Ethanol [E-10], a mixture of petrol and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),
and petrol or ethanol containing
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded petrol.
Do not use ethanol containing more than
10% ethanol, and do not use petrol or
ethanol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob-
lems and damage to the fuel system,
engine control system and emission con-
trol system.
Discontinue using ethanol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur-
er’s warranty if they result from the use
of:
1. Ethanol containing more than 10%.
2. Petrol or ethanol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded ethanol.

Using fuels such as;
- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,
- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained fuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and
- Other metallic additives contained fuels,
may cause vehicle and engine damage
or cause plugging, misfiring, poor accel-
eration, engine stalling, catalyst melting,
abnormal corrosion, life cycle reduction,
etc.
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
