Preferably use an environmentally friendly petrol,
i.e. alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a com-
position that is less harmful to people and nature.
It has e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alco-
hols and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.
NOTE! If you change to environmental-
ly friendly petrol in an engine previously
run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95),
the petrol manufacturer’s recommen-
dations must be followed carefully.
Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil.
NOTE! Bear in mind that petrol is a perishable, do
not purchase more petrol than can be used within
30 days.
