The manual won't do you any good because the fuel specs have changed in the 50 years since it was originally printed.

If it's a gas, kerosene, or "all fuel" model, just use plain old 87 octane pump gas. It'll run fine, and run forever. Do not bother with "lead substitue" or other snake oil concoctions, because they don't help. Do not bother with higher octane, as octane does nothing for power, and is not a substitue for lead. Octane only keeps you from hammering holes in the pistons of a high-compresison engine. Your M is a low-compression engine.
