It isimportantto preventgum depositsfrom formingin
essentialfuel system parts such as the carb_Jretor,fuel
filter,fuel hose ortank dudngstorage. Also,
experienceindicatesthat alcohol-blendedfu_ls (celled
gasohol,ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
whichleads to separationand formation of acids
duringstorage. Acidicgas can damage the fuel system
of an engine while instorage.
