FUEL SYSTEM
Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA-
TION section of this manual, see mes-
sage labeled IMPORTANT regarding the
use of gasohol in your engine.
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alterna-
tive in minimizing the formation of fuel
gum deposits during storage. Add stabi-
lizer to the gasoline in the fuel tank or
fuel storage container. Follow the mix
instructions found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 5 minutes after ad-
ding stabilizer.
Craftsman 40:1,2-cycle engine oil (air
cooled) is already blended with fuel sta-
bilizer. If you do not use this Sears oil,
you can add a fuel stabilizer to your fuel
tank.
