Engine Fuel Engine Fuel NOTICE Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty. 3. Remove the fuel cap. Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) Gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol by volume may cause starting or performance problems. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name "Gasohol". Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) Gasoline containing methanol must contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems and may damage metal, rubber and plastic parts of fuel system. MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) You can use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume. TABLE 6. Oxygenated Fuel Types Adding Fuel NOTICE To avoid damage to engine, never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in fuel tank. Use fresh gasoline with a pump octane rating of 87 or higher. DANGER Fuel and fuel vapors are extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. NEVER fill fuel tank while engine is running. Turn generator OFF and allow to cool before filling with fuel. 1. Stop the generator if the engine is running. Allow to completely cool. 2. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.

Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, be sure area is dry before starting engine. 5. Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. FIGURE 31: Reinstall Fuel Cap NOTE: Occasional, light spark knock, "pinging", or rattling noise is normal while operating under heavy loads. If spark knock, pinging, or rattling occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, drain the fuel (page 27) and refill with fresh gasoline. If the noise persists, see an authorized generator dealer. NOTICE Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage. Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse. 22 www.honeywellgenerators.com HW1000i / HW2000i Inverter Generator Owner's Manual

Engine Fuel
Adding Fuel
1.
Stop the generator if the engine is running. Allow to
completely cool.
2.
Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
3.
Remove the fuel cap.
4.
Slowly pour gasoline into the fuel tank. Be careful not
to overfill.
5.
Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten.
NOTE:
Occasional, light spark knock, "pinging", or rattling noise
is normal while operating under heavy loads. If spark
knock, pinging, or rattling occurs at a steady engine
speed, under normal load, drain the fuel (page 27) and
refill with fresh gasoline. If the noise persists, see an
authorized generator dealer.
NOTICE
Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Be careful
not to spill fuel when filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by
spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.
Ethanol
(ethyl or grain
alcohol)
Gasoline containing more than 10%
ethanol by volume may cause start-
ing or performance problems. Gaso-
line containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name "Gasohol".
Methanol
(methyl or wood
alcohol)
Gasoline containing methanol must
contain co-solvents and corrosion
inhibitors to protect fuel system. Gas-
oline containing more than 5% meth-
anol by volume may cause starting
and/or performance problems and
may damage metal, rubber and plas-
tic parts of fuel system.
MTBE
(methyl tertiary
butyl ether)
You can use gasoline containing up
to 15% MTBE by volume.
TABLE 6. Oxygenated Fuel Types
NOTICE

explosive under certain conditions.
NEVER fill fuel tank while engine is running. Turn
generator OFF and allow to cool before filling with
fuel.
