RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE
Old fuel is the primarj reason for the unit not
running properly. Be sure to use fresh, clean,
unleaded Petrol (gasoline).

damage to the unit, do not mix oil with Petrol

Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of petrol [gasoline) and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether).
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%
water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate or form
acids when stored. Use fresh fuel (leas than 60 days
old), when using alcohol-blended fuel.
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is
unavoidable, follow recommended precautions.
• Always use fresh unleaded petrol (gasoline)
• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL ® or an equivalent.
• Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit.
Using Fuel Additives
The use of fuel additives, such as STA-BIL ® Gas
Stabilizer or an equivalent, will inhibit corrosion and
minimize the formation of gum deposits. Using a fuel
additive can keep fuel from forming _armful deposits in
the carburetor for up to six (6) months. Add 23 ml
(0.8 oz.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to
the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel
additives directly to the unit's petrol (gasoline) tank.
