FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is importantto prevent bum
depositsfrom forming in essential juel system
pads such as carburetor, fuel filter,fuel hose,
or tank dunng storabe. Also, experience
indicates that alcolol blinded fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and
formationof acids duringstorage. Acidicgas
can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
• Drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let itrun untilthe fuel
lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetorcleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative in minimizingthe formationof fuel
gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to
gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always fellow the mix ratiofound on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizerto allow the stabilizerto
reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas
tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
