FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is importantto prevent
gum deposits from forming In essential
fuel system parts suchas carburetor,fuel
filter,fuel hose, or tank dudng storage.
Also, expeflence Indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation
of acids dudng storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
1. Drainthe fuel tank.
2. Start the engine and let it ran untilthe
fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent

alternative in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline In fuel tank or
storage container. Always follow the mix
ratio found on stabilizer container. Run
