CAUTION:
Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using

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 for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See
STORAGE Instructions for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank
or permanent damage may occur.
WARNING:
Never fill fuel tank indoors,
or with the engine running, or while the
engine is hot. Do not smoke while filling
tank.
