FUELSYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Itis importantto prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel systemparts suchas carburetor,fuel
filler, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Also, expedance 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. Drain the fuel tank.

fuel linesand carburetor are empty.

products in the fuel tank or permanent

allamative in minimizingthe formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizerto gasoline in fuel tank or
storage container. Alwaysfollow the mix
ratio found on stabilizer container. Run
engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach
the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank
