text version of content this owner's manual page from owners manual to the vehicle Volvo Coupe, year of production 1987 - 1991:

1991 Volvo Coupe 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 heated 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. CAUTION: Take care not to spill gasoline during refueling. Gasoline containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Do not use gasoline 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 Limited Warranty. pg. 43 Refueling Refueling The fuel tank filler cap is located behind the door on the left rear fender. Open cap slowly during hot weather conditions. When filling, position the cap in the special bracket on the door. After filling the tank, install the cap and turn until a "click" is heard. The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately 21.1 US gals (80 liters) with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. When the gauge's needle enters the red zone, approximately 2.4 US gal. (9 liters) of fuel remain the tank. Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the 21.1 US gallons (80 liters) maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "vapor pressure" characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pumps' ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone. After the needle enters the red zone, you should be able to drive approximately 25 miles (40 km) depending on driving style and conditions. file:///K|/ownersdocs/1991/1991_COUPE/91coupe_41.html (3 of 7)12/30/2006 9:00:43 AM
