FUELSYSTEM
IMPORTANT: itisimportantto preventgum
deposits from forming in eesenlJalfuel system
pads such as carburetor,f fuel filter,fuel hose
or tank during storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol blended fuels ( called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids duringstorage. Acidicgas
can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
• Drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let it run untilthe fuel
lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products inthe fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season,
NOTE: Fuel stabilizeris an acceptable
alternative in minimizingthe formation of fuel
gum depositsduring storage. Add stabilizer
to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
