FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent bum
deposits from forming in essential juel system
parts such as carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose,
or tank du ring sle rabe Also, experience
indicates that dcotol blinded fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.

lines and carburetor are empty.

allemative in minimizing the formation of fuel
gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to
gasoline in fuel lank or storage container.
Always follow 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
