Fuel Tank; Tracking Knob - Craftsman Z7400 Operator's Manual

Fuel Tank
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol, 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. To avoid
engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel the next season. See Storage for
additional information. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
