  • Page 29 Maintenance - Storage Long Term Storage It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system components such as the carburetor, fuel hoses or tank during storage. Ethanol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) 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.
