Fuel containing these oxygenates can also be used in your Kawasaki. CAUTION Never use gasoline with an octane rating lower than the minimum specified by Kawasaki. Never use "gasohol" with more than 10% ethanol, or more than 5% methanol. Gasoline containing methanol must also be blended with solvents and corrosion inhibitors.
