Do
not overfill.
Use fresh,
clean,
regular

with a minimum
of
87 octane.
(Use of
leaded
gasoline
will
increase
carbon

deposits
and reduce
valve
life).
Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
Purchase
fuel in quanti-
ties that can be used within
30 days to
assure

winter
grade
gasoline
to help ensure
good
cold weather
starting.
CAUTION:
Alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohol
or using
ethanol
or methanol)
can
attract
moisture
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
before
storage
of 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas
