36 GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions, creating the potential for serious burns. When refueling, servicing fuel system, draining gasoline and/or adjusting the carburetor: Stop engine and allow it to cool before refueling. DO NOT smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks, including the pilot light of any appliance. DO NOT fill the tank so the fuel level rises into the filler neck or level surface of level gauge. If the tank is overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to expand and overflow through the vents in the tank cap. Wipe off any spilled gasoline immediately. NOTICE California model only: Never fill the tank so the fuel level rises into the filler neck. If the tank is overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to expand and flow into the Evaporative Emission Control System resulting in hard starting and engine hesitation and in compliance with the emission regulation. Fuel Requirement Fuel Type Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum Antiknock Index of 90. The Antiknock Index is posted on service station pumps. The octane rating of a gasoline is a measure of its resistance to detonation or "knocking." The Antiknock Index is an average of the Research Octane Number (RON) and
