Honda Generator Fuel Message
Below is from an email from Honda to me today. The 3rd paragraph below--have I been wrong all along? I thought E85 was 85% gasoline and 15% ethanol? And most unleaded now is 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol.
************************************************** *******
What kind of fuel should I use in my Honda equipment?
Honda equipment is certified and designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline.
Gasoline is allowed, by regulation, to contain a variety of additives. The same regulation limits how much of some additives, such as alcohol, can be included in the fuel and still be sold as gasoline. Honda equipment is designed for good performance and efficient operation using gasoline containing from 0 to 10% ethanol.
E85 is an alternative fuel. It is not gasoline. It is made by combining 85% ethanol with 15% gasoline. Honda equipment is not currently certified or designed to run on E85.
Always refer to your Honda owner's manual for a list of recommended fuel and the current approved additives.
