Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline
from a major name-brand service station (Figure 25).
Important: To reduce starting problems, add
fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with
gasoline less than 30 days old. Do not add oil to
the gasoline.
Note: Never use methanol, gasoline containing
methanol, or gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol
because the fuel system could be damaged.
