ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
it is important
to prevent
gum deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel
system parts such as carburetor,
fuel hose,
ortank 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,
* Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine
and letting
it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor
are empty_
o Never use engine
or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank
or permanent
damage
may occur.
. Use fresh fuel next season.

is an acceptable
al-
ternative

the formation
of fuel
gum deposits
during storage.

to gasoline
in fuel tank or storage
container
Always fo!low the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes
after add! ng stabilizer to allow the stabilize r to
reach the carburetor.
