Jeep Wrangler: FUEL REQUIREMENTS — GASOLINE ENGINE / Fuel System Cautions
CAUTION!
Follow these guidelines to maintain your
vehicle’s performance:
- The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited by
Federal law. Using leaded gasoline can
impair engine performance and damage
the emissions control system.
- An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition
malfunctions can cause the catalytic
converter to overheat. If you notice a
pungent burning odor or some light smoke,
your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning
and may require immediate service.
Contact an authorized dealer for service
assistance.
- The use of fuel additives, which are now
being sold as octane enhancers, is not
recommended. Most of these products
contain high concentrations of methanol.
Fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems resulting from the use of
such fuels or additives is not the responsibility
of the manufacturer and may void or
not be covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
NOTE:
Intentional tampering with the emissions
control system can result in civil penalties being
assessed against you.
