GASOLINE (PETROL)
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a differ-
ent brand of gasoline or premium unlead-
ed fuel. If unleaded gasoline is not avail-
able, then leaded regular gasoline can be
used.

Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol
containing ethanol and that containing
methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol
can be used if ethanol content does not
exceed 10% and the fuel meets minimum
octane ratings. Gasohol containing
methanol is not recommended by Yama-
ha because it can cause fuel system dam-
age or engine performance problems.
