iMPORTANT: Jtis important to prevent bum
deposRs from forming in essential fuel system
parts such as carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose,
or tank during storabe. Also, experience
indicates that alcolo! blinded fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
Drain the fuel tank
Start the engine and let it run until the fue!
tines and carburetor are empty.
* Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
Use fresh fuet next season.
NOTE: Fue! stabilizer is an acceptable
aRernative in minimizing the formation of fuel
gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to
gasoline in fue_tank or storage container.
Always follow the mN ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
a_er adding stabilizer to a_towthe stabilizer to
reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas
tank and carburetor [f using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OiL
