It is importantto preventgumdepositsfrom formingin essentialfuel
systempartsof the enginesuchas the carburetor,fuel filter,fuel hose,
ortankduringshort-termstorage(15-30days).To preventthis,treat
the fuelsystemusingafuel stabilizer.
Fuelstabilizer(such as STA-BILTM or ULTRA-FRESHTM) is an accept-
ablealternativein minimizingthe formationof fuelgum depositsduring
storage.Addstabilizerto gasolinein fueltankorstoragecontainer.
Alwaysfollowmixratiofoundonstabilizercontainer.Runengineat
