A.
Fuel System
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits from form-
ing in essential
fuel system
parts such as the car-
buretor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Also, experience
indicates that alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can at-
tract moisture
which
leads to separation
and forma-
tion of acids during storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the fuel system
of an engine while
in storage.
To
avoid
engine problems,
the fuel system
should be
emptied
before
storage
of 30 days or longer.
