IMPORTANT= It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts, such asthe
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.Also,
experience indicatesthat alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic fuel can damagethe 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. See"Storage"
