General Recommendations

Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in clean,

approved containers. A container with a capacity of 2

gallons or less with a pouring spout is recommended.

Such a container is easier to handle and helps eliminate

spillage during refueling.

Do not use gasoline le over from the previous season,

to minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to

ensure easy starting.

Do not 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 the 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.

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 engine.

Other gasoline/ether blends are not approved.
