ECO PLUS
Briggs & Stratton has a long-standing commitment to protect the environment.
Core to the New E-SERIES engines is the reduction of engine exhaust emissions.
ECO PLUS
goes one step further, in addition to reducing exhaust emissions, it
also reduces evaporative emissions. Evaporative emissions occur when an engine is
not in use. During equipment storage, whether it be a lawnmower, tiller, or generator,
the fuel in the tank evaporates and the hydrocarbons together with nitrogen-oxides
pollute the air resulting in increased petrol emissions. ECO PLUS
significantly
reduces these evaporative emissions and as a result lessens the petrol odour in
your storage area.
