NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than

Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate pet-
rol. This type of petrol has a composition that is
less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store fuel in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
