Petrol is extremely ammable and, in some circumstances, it
is explosive.
Fill the fuel tank in a well ventilated area with the engine
switched off.
Do not smoke and avoid any ames or sparks in the area
where
lling is performed and where the fuel is stored.
Do not overll the fuel tank. (The fuel level must be below the
ller neck).
After lling the tank, make sure that the tank cap is correctly
tted.
Take care not to spill fuel during the tank lling operation.
Petrol splashes or vapours could catch re.
Make sure that any spilled petrol has evaporated and that
vapours have dispersed before starting the engine.
Avoid direct contact of petrol with the skin and do not breathe
the vapours.
KEEP FUEL OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
FUEL CONTAINING ALCOHOL
If you intend to use fuel with alcohol, ensure that its octane number
is at least as high as that recommended by Honda (86). There are
two types of fuel/alcohol mixtures: one contains ethanol and the
other methanol.
Do not use mixtures containing more than 10 % ethanol, or fuel
containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol), which do not contain
cosolvents, or corrosion inhibitors for methanol.
In the case of a mixture containing methanol with addition of
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, limit the proportion to 5 % of
methanol.
NOTE : The guarantee does not cover damage caused to the fuel
system or engine performance problems resulting from the use of
fuel containing alcohol. Honda does not give its approval to the use
of fuels containing methyl alcohol since their suitability is not yet
proven.
