158 Technical Information
Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional gasolines are being blended
with alcohol or an ether compound. These
gasolines are collectively referred to as
oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards,
some areas of the United States and Canada use
oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is
unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating
requirement.
Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm
the fuel’s contents. Some states/provinces
require this information to be posted on the
pump.
The following are percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol) up to 10%
by volume.
You may use gasoline containing up to 10%
ethanol by volume. Gasoline containing
ethanol may be marketed under the name
‘‘Gasohol’’.
Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL
(methyl alcohol).
