FUEL TANK CAPACITY
HITACHI Model
E24SC
E42SC, E62SC
Check the fuel and refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Refuel
carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of
the fuel strainer.
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or
higher.
The engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust system life. Never use stale or
contaminated gasoline. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel
tank.
Always keep the fuel strainer in place while refueling.
