Vehicle Damage Warnings

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS:

^ Do not operate the fuel pump without fuel in tank.

^ Do not depress the accelerator pedal while trying to start the car.

^ Never operate vehicle on 100 % methanol fuel. (Operate vehicle on unleaded gasoline (minimum posted octane rating of 87), or a mixture of unleaded gasoline (minimum posted octane rating of 87), and up to 85% methanol.)

^ In case of poor engine operation (misfiring), avoid driving the vehicle and correct the problem as soon as possible.

^ Do not disconnect a spark plug wire with the engine running.

^ Avoid push or pull starting the vehicle.

^ If running on a chassis dynamometer, make sure the catalytic converter is well ventilated.

^ To avoid damaging the oxygen sensor, use only sealants and lubricants that are approved for use on an oxygen sensor equipped vehicle.

^ When performing a compression test, remove the fuel pump relay. (This prevents fuel from being fed to the injectors).


PARTS REPLACEMENT PRECAUTIONS:

CAUTION: Methanol will damage components manufactured for gasoline engines. Although parts may appear the same, they are not interchangeable. Replace components with FLEXIBLE FUEL replacement parts ONLY. (Parts should be green in appearance or have a green tag or label attached).
