Storage
Prepare the product for storage at the end of the
season, and before more than 30 days of storage.
If you keep fuel in the fuel tank for 30 days or
more, tacky particles can cause blockage. This has a
negative effect on the engine function.
To prevent tacky particles during storage, add a
stabilizer. If alkylate gasoline is used, stabilizer is
not necessary. If you use standard gasoline, do
not change to alkylate gasoline. This can cause
sensitive rubber parts to become hard. Add stabilizer
to the fuel in the tank or in the container used for
storage. Always use the mixing ratios given by the
manufacturer. Add the stabilizer and run the engine
for a minimum of 10 minutes.
WARNING:

location or in locations with bad airflow.
