Fuel Tank

Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
capacity for each tank is 5-1/2 gallons.
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage
and keep the cap correctly tightened.
The engine will operate on a minimum of
87-octane unleaded gasoline (no oil mix).
Environmentally adapted alkylate gasoline can
be used. See Technical Data concerning ethanol
fuel. Methanol fuel is not allowed. Do not use E85
alcohol based fuel. Damage to the engine and
components may occur.
When operating in temperatures below 32° F, use
fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure
good cold weather starting.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience
indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can 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. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied before storage of
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start
the engine and let it operate until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
the next season. See Storage for additional
information. Do not use engine or carburetor
cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
WARNING! Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors
(see Safe Handling of Gasoline in the Safety
section).
