Lubricate O-Rings - Briggs & Stratton Brute Operator's Manual

FreshStart® Fuel Cap
The FreshStart® fuel cap (A) is designed to hold a
cartridge (B) which contains fuel preserver. Adding fuel

easier starting all season long. The FreshStart® fuel cap, if
equipped with a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated
fuel preserver into your fuel tank so you don't have to add it
yourself.

FreshStart® fuel preserver cartridge package.
