vehicle will operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting

federal specifications, but emission control system

performance may be affected. The malfunction indicator

lamp on your instrument panel may turn on and/or your

vehicle may fail a smog-check test. If

this

occurs, return

to your authorized Corvette dealer for diagnosis to

determine the cause of failure. In the event it is

determined that the cause of the condition is the type of

fuels used, repairs may not be covered by your warranty.

Some gasolines that are not reformulated for low

emissions contain an octane-enhancing additive called

methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT);

ask your service station operator whether or not

his

fuel

contains MMT. General Motors does not recommend the

use of such gasolines.

fuels containing MMT are used,

spark plug life may be reduced and your emission

control system performance may be affected. The

malfunction indicator lamp on your instrument panel

may turn on. If

this

occurs, return to your authorized

Corvette dealer for service.

To provide cleaner air, all gasolines in the United States

are now required to contain additives that will help

prevent deposits from forming

your engine and fuel

system, allowing your emission control system to

function properly. Therefore, you should not have to add

anything to the fuel. In addition, gasolines containing

oxygenates, such as ethers and ethanol, and

reformulated gasolines may be available in your area to

help clean the air. General Motors recommends that you

use these gasolines if they comply with the

specifications described earlier.

NOTICE:

Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that

contains methanol. Don’t use it. It can corrode

metal parts in your fuel system and also damage

plastic and rubber parts. That damage wouldn’t

be covered under your warranty.

Fuels in Foreign Countries

If you plan on driving in another country outside the

United States or Canada, the proper fuel may be hard to

find. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel not

recommended in the previous text on fuel. Costly repairs

caused by use of improper fuel wouldn’t be covered by

your warranty.

To check on fuel availability, ask

auto club, or

contact a major oil company that does business in the

country where you’ll be driving.
