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 certied by EPA can be used to replace
the original equipment supply hose. Fines up to $37,500 may be enforced for using an un-certied replacement part.
