• It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. 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.
• When exchanging propane/ LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder valve is of the same type. • Always keep the propane/LPG cylinder in an upright position. • Propane/LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep Propane/LPG away from skin at all times.
