FUEL FILLING
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
CAUTION: Avoid running out of fuel.
Doing so can cause damage to the
vehicle’s engine, fuel pump and emission
control systems.
When the remaining fuel
reaches approximately 10%
of the maximum fuel level,
the fuel gauge display will turn yellow. If the
fuel level falls to approximately 3%, the low
fuel warning icon will turn red.
FUEL SPECIFICATION
CAUTION: Do not use leaded fuels,
lead substitutes or fuel additives.
Doing so can cause damage to the engine,
fuel and emission control systems.
CAUTION: Only use high quality fuel
as using a lower quality can cause
damage to the engine, fuel and emission
control systems.
CAUTION: Fuel system cleaning
agents should not be used as they
may be harmful to fuel system
components on your Revero.
CAUTION: If the fuel tank is filled with
the wrong type of fuel, do not start
the engine. It is essential that you seek
qualified assistance. Running the engine
can cause serious engine and fuel system
damage.
The correct fuel specification for your
Revero is shown on the inside of the fuel
filler cover.
Only use Premium Unleaded fuel.
Unleaded fuel is essential for proper
operation of the emission control system.
Even a very small quantity of leaded fuel
will damage your vehicle's emission control
system and could invalidate the emissions
warranty.
ALTERNATIVE FUELS
ETHANOL FUELS
CAUTION: Do not use E85 fuels (85%
Ethanol content). If E85 fuels are
used serious engine and fuel system
damage will occur.
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol may be
used. Ensure the fuel has an octane rating
no lower than that recommended on the
inside fuel filler cover.
METHANOL FUELS
CAUTION: Do not use fuels that
contain methanol. The use of fuels
containing Methanol will seriously damage
fuel system components. Damage caused
by using this type of fuel will not be covered
under the vehicle warranty.
REFORMULATED GASOLINE
CAUTION: Karma Automotive does
not recommend the use of
reformulated gasolines that contain the
additive MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl
Manganese Tricarbonyl). Fuels containing
MMT can reduce spark plug life and the
performance of the emission control
system.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and
never intentionally drive the vehicle when
the fuel gauge indicates that the tank is
empty.
Total tank
capacity
10 U.S. gallons
(38 liters)
