Fuel Recommendations

WARNING: Explosive Fuel!

Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if

ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well

ventilated, unoccupied buildings, away from sparks or flames.

Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running,

since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with hot

parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near

spilled fuel. Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.

General Recommendations

Purchase gasoline in small quantities that can be used

within 30 days and store only in clean, approved

containers. Do not use gasoline left over from the

previous season unless treated with a fuel stabilizer

(refer to Storage), to minimize gum deposits and

ensure easy starting. Do not use gasoline containing

Methanol, or add oil to the gasoline.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave room for the fuel to

expand.

Fuel Type

For best results use only clean, fresh, unleaded

gasoline with a pump sticker octane rating of 87 or

higher. In countries using the Research method, it

should be 90 octane minimum.

Unleaded gasoline is recommended as it leaves less

combustion chamber deposits and reduces harmful

exhaust emissions. Leaded gasoline is not

recommended and must not be used in any models

where exhaust emissions are regulated.

Gasoline/Alcohol blends

Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded

gasoline by volume) is approved as a fuel for Kohler

engines. Other gasoline/alcohol blends including E20

and E85 are not to be used and not approved. Any

failures resulting from use of these fuels will not be

warranted.

Gasoline/Ether blends

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded

gasoline blends (up to a maximum of 15% MTBE by

volume) are approved as a fuel for Kohler engines.

Other gasoline/ether blends are not approved.

Engine Identification Numbers

When ordering parts, or in any communication

involving an engine, always give the Model,

Specification, and Serial Numbers of the engine.

The engine identification numbers appear on a decal

affixed to the engine shrouding. Include letter suffixes,

if there are any.

Figure 4. Engine Identification Label.

The Emission Compliance Period referred to on the

Emission Control or Air Index label indicates the

number of operating hours for which the engine has

been shown to meet Federal emission requirements.

The following table provides the Engine Compliance

Period (in hours) associated with the category

descriptor found on the certification label.
