you keep fuel in the fuel tank for 30 days or more,
tacky particles can cause blockage in the carburetor.
This has a negative effect on the engine function.
To prevent tacky particles during storage, add a
stabilizer. If alkylate gasoline is used, stabilizer is not
necessary. If you use standard gasoline, do not
change to alkylate gasoline. This can cause
sensitive rubber parts to become hard. Add stabilizer
to the fuel in the tank or in the container used for
storage. Always use the mixing ratios given by the
manufacturer. Add the stabilizer and run the engine
for a minimum of 10 minutes, until the fuel flows into
the carburetor.
