THE FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING:
Do not drain the gasoline
inside
a build-
ing or near a fire.
Do not smoke
because
the fumes
from
the fuel can cause
an explosion.
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel
system
parts
such
as the carburetor,
fuel filter, fuel
hose or tank
during
storage.
Also,
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.
Follow
these
instructions:
NOTE:
Fuel
stabilizer
(like
STA-BIL)
is an acceptable
alternative in reducing the formation
of fuel gum in the fuel tank
and the gasoline storage container, Always follow the mix ratio
located on the container of stabilizer, Run the engine at least 10
minutes after adding the stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to
reach the carburetor. Do not drain the fuel tank and carburetor
if stabilizer is used.
If you do not use a stabilizer,
do the following:
1.
Start the engine.
2.
Run the engine
until the fuel tank and the carburetor
are out of
fuel and the engine
stops.
3.
Do not leave fuel in the fuel tank or the carburetor.

damage
the function
of the fuel system.

make
sure you use fresh
fuel.
