There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according

to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel

system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into

an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel

stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.
