Note: Federal EPA regulations require all model year 2012 and later
gasoline powered engines produced for sale in the United
States to be equipped with a special low permeation fuel supply hose between the carburetor and fuel
tank. When servicing model year 2012 and later equipment, only fuel supply hoses certified by EPA
can be used to replace the original equipment supply hose. Fines up to $37,500 may be enforced for
