THE RIGHT GAS...

tloc · 07-08-2005, 03:10 AM

In the manual for the 05 s2k it says that the gas must not have a manganese-based additive such as MMT. It also says that the s2k is designed to operate on oxygenated gas with up to 10% ethanol by volume and up to 15% MTBE by volume. Gas with methanol is not supposed to be used. I know that the manual is really anal but what gas stations meet these requirements around SoCal ( 310 )......?

AFAIK, nobody in Cali used Methanol as an additive. They do, however still have some gas with MTBE or EtOH. The pump will have a sticker on it as to what additives are used, by law.
