NOTE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol
blend fuels . When using blended fuels there are
some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water
than gasoline alone .
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor .
– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised
fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards .
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer
that are formulated to work with ethanol blend
fuels .
– Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/
or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacture's warranty .
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days .
