STORAGE

Fuel System
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,
resulting in gum deposits in the system. These
deposits can damage the carburetor and the
fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent deposits
from forming in the fuel system during storage
by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel.
Follow the recommended mix ratio found on
the fuel stabilizer container.
To treat the fuel system for storage:
1. Add fuel stabilizer according to
manufacturers' instructions.
2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes after
adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the
carburetor.
NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel
tank inside of a building with potential sources
of ignition.
