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 left 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 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. Leaded gasoline may

be used in areas where unleaded is not available and

exhaust emissions are not regulated. Be aware

however, that the cylinder head will require more

frequent service.

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.

Record your engine identification numbers on the

identification label (Figure 4) for future reference.
