rubber augers.
• Store in a clean, dry area.

IN,
DICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED
FUELS
(CALLED
GASOHOL
OR
USING

OR METHANOL)
CAN ATTRACT
MOISTURE
WHICH
LEADS
TO

CAN
DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN
ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.
• Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops
due to lack of fuel.
• Disconnect fuet line at carburetor or fuel tank. Be
