It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage_ Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called "gasohot" 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°
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or Ionger_ Follow these
instructions:
Protect Fuel System: Engines stored over 30 days need
to be protected or drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits
from forming infuel system oron essential carburetor parts.
° For en_i_e protection use a fuel stabilizer (such as
STA-BIL . Mix stabilizer with fuel in fuel tank and run
engine for short time to circulate stabilizer through
carburetor.
- If you did use "gasohol", run engine until engine stops
from lack of fuel. Make sure you have water supply to
pump inlet connected and turned ONo
