(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leeds 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,
empty the fuel system
before storage for 30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the en-
gine and let it run until the fuel lines and carbure-
tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
Never use engine or carburetor

ucts in the fuel tank or permanent
damage
may occur.
