Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alter-
native in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to the gasoline in the fuel
tank or fuel storage container. Follow
the mix instructions
found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 5 min-
utes after adding stabilizer to allow the
stabilizer to reach the carburetor.
Craftsman 40:1, 2-cycle engine oil (air
cooled) is already blended with fuel
stabilizer. If you do not use this Sears
oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer (such
as Craftsman No. 33500) to your fuel
tank.
