Adding a Gasoline Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life
When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh
gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for
refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
1. Add gasoline stabilizer following the manufacturer's instructions.
2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for
10 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the
untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
3. Stop the engine, and if the fuel tank is equipped with a fuel
valve, move the fuel valve to the CLOSED or OFF position.
Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you
can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame
away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
1. Disconnect the fuel line to the engine, and drain the fuel tank
into an approved gasoline container. If the fuel tank is equipped
with a valve, turn the fuel valve to the OPEN or ON position to
enable draining. After draining is completed, reconnect the fuel
line.
2. Loosen the carburetor drain screw, and drain the carburetor into
an approved gasoline container. After draining is completed,
tighten the carburetor drain screw securely.
