If a large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it
may overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent this observe the following
precautions and explain them to your customer. |

Use only unleaded gasoline. |

Do not run the engine while
the car is at rest for a long time. Avoid running the engine at fast idle
