Fuel System
Diesel fuel left in the fuel system for extended
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,
resulting in sludge and sediment deposits
forming in the system. These deposits can
damage the fuel injectors and the fuel hoses,
filter and tank. Prevent deposits from forming
in the fuel system during storage by adding a
quality diesel fuel stabilizer to the fuel. Follow
the recommended mix ratio found on the
diesel fuel stabilizer container.
IMPORTANT: NEVER store the engine with
fuel in the fuel tank inside of a building with
potential sources of ignition.
