1985 Volvo DL, GL and Turbo engine inlet manifold and the Intercooler Boost System to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow boosts pressure to approx. 8 psi and increases engine power output by approx. 60 horsepower over that developed by the normally-aspirated engine. The intercooler is located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold. pg. 50 Fuel requirements Unleaded Fuel Each Volvo has a catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline (as specified on the instrument panel and by a label near the filler inlet). U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labeled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your car's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labeled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline damages the catalytic converter and the oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in emission test failure for misfueled vehicles. Octane Rating Volvo engines require unleaded gasoline with an (R+M)/2 octane rating (also called the Anti Knock Index, or AKI) of 87 or higher. This is generally equivalent to a Research Octane Number (RON) of 91 or higher. For turbocharged engines, Volvo recommends the use of premium unleaded gasoline with an (R+M)/2 rating of 91, for improved performance and driveability at high altitudes and hot climates. Gasoline Containing Alcohol Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing alcohol without advertising the presence of alcohol. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol (ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol), sometimes called "gasohol", are available in some areas. Gasohol, if used, must contain no more than 10 percent ethanol and must have an (R+M)/2 rating of 87 or higher. If you experience problems with starting, driveability, or fuel economy with gasohol, you should discontinue its use. Take care not to spill gasoline during refueling. Gasolines containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Warranty. pg. 51 Engine fluids file:///K|/ownersdocs/1985/1985_DL_GL_and_Turbo/85240_03a.htm (7 of 18)12/30/2006 7:49:16 AM
