Reformulated Gasoline. Fuel Additives

Reformulated Gasoline

In many areas of the country, the use of cleaner-burning gasoline known as "reformulated gasoline" is required. Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates and is specially blended to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.

The use of reformulated gasoline is recommended. Properly blended reformulated gasoline will provide improved performance and durability of the engine and fuel system components.

Fuel Additives

In addition to using unleaded gasoline with the proper octane rating, the use of gasolines that contain detergents, anti-corrosion, and stabilizer additives is recommended. Using gasoline that contains these additives will help improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and maintain vehicle performance.

Top Tier detergent gasoline contains a higher level of detergents, which further helps minimize engine and fuel system deposits. If available, use TOP TIER detergent gasoline. Visit www.toptiergas.com for a list of retailers that sell TOP TIER detergent gasoline.

Avoid indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaners. Many of these materials, designed to remove resin and varnish, may contain aggressive solvents or similar ingredients. They can damage the fuel system gasket and diaphragm materials.
