FuelAdditive:
Fuelwill becomestale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acids and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. Prior to storage, if gasoline has
not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained
from the engine into an approved container. Then run engine
until it stops from lack of fuel.
When fuel stabilizers are used according to their instructions,
there is no needto drain the gasoline from the engine prior
to storage. Use Briggs & Stratton FRESHSTARTTM fuel
stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrated
liquid cartridge. Run the engine for a short time to circulate
stabilizer throughout the fuel system. Engineand fuel can
then be stored up to 24 months.
If fuel is drained, the use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage
container is still recommendedto maintain freshness.
Other Storage Tips
1. DO NOTstore fuel from one seasonto another unless it

2. Replacefuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
