CAUTION!Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascan damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
Toavoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated
with a fuel preserveror emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. Ifadding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. if only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it rununtil the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleaner products inthe fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
