ADD GASOMNE
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do
not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of
87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will
increase carbon and lead oxide depos-

with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quanti-
ties that can be used within 30 days to
assure fuel freshness.
