Prepare Fuel System for Storage
Fuel stored over 30 days can go bad and
damage fuel system components. Keep fuel
fresh, use fuel stabilizer.
If fuel stabilizer is added to fuel system, pre-
pare and run engine for long term storage.
Run engine for 10-15 minutes to circulate sta-
bilizer throughout fuel system. Adequately
prepared fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
NOTE: If fuel has not been treated with fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved
container. Run engine until it stops from lack
of fuel. Use of fuel stabilizer in fuel storage
container is recommended to keep fuel fresh.
