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
