FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:

gum deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel system
parts such as carburetor,
fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage°
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.
o Empty the fuel tank by starting
the en-
gine and letting it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor
are empty.

cleaner
products
in the fuel tank or permanent
damage
may occur°
