engine. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Do not use gasoline with more than 10% alcohol such as
E85 or ethanol.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture, which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of
an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied or treated with a com-
mercially available fuel stabilizer before storage of 30
days or longer. See the "Storage" section. Never use
engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as
permanent damage may occur.
