Definition
of Blended
Fuels
Hole
Today's fuels are often a blend of
gasoline and oxygenates such as
ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether).
Fig. 7
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 (less than 60
days old), when using alcohol-blended
fuel.
Using Blended
Fuels
If choosing to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow
recommended
precautions:
Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent
Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit
Using Fuel Additives
WARNING:
Gasoline is extremely flammable.
Ignited vapors
may explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep
sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.
WARNING:
Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated outdoor area. Wipe
up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for
spilt fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
