Storing Fuel - Wacker Neuson BTS 1030L3 Operator's Manual

Starting up
To lubricate the engine, use a synthetic oil for two-stroke aircooled
engines (quality grade JASO FC or ISO-L-EGD), which has to be
added to the fuel.
NOTE: To prepare the fuel-oil mixture, always premix the prescribed
amount of oil volume with half of the fuel volume and then add the re-
maining amount of fuel. Before you fill the tank, always shake the fin-
ished mixture well.
NOTICE: Open the cap of the fuel tank carefully since there may be
pressure present!
It is not a good idea to increase the oil percentage of the two-cycle mix-
ture for beyond the specified mixing ratio for any reason. This will in-
crease the amount of combustion residue which pollutes the
environment and also clogs the exhaust port in the cylinder and the
muffler. Furthermore, this also increases fuel consumption and reduc-
es engine performance.
WARNING!
FUELS WITH MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL ARE NOT APPROVED
FOR USE IN Wacker Neuson 2-STROKE ENGINES!
Use of alternative fuels, such as E-20 (20% ethanol), E-85 (85% etha-
nol) or any fuels not meeting Wacker Neuson requirements are not ap-
proved for use in this engine!
USE OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS CAN CAUSE THE FOLLOWING
PROBLEMS:
Poor engine performance, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock,
improper clutch engagement, premature deterioration of fuel lines,
premature deterioration of gaskets, premature deterioration of carbu-
retors.
USING ALTERNATIVE FUELS AND/OR 2-STROKE OILS NOT AC-
CORDING TO JASO FC OR ISO-L-EGD IN THIS 2-STROKE ENGINE
WILL VOID YOUR ENGINE WARRANTY!

Storing fuel

Fuels cannot be stored indefinitely. Fuel and fuel mixtures age due to
evaporation, particularly under the influence of high temperatures.
Fuel and fuel mixtures that have been stored for too long can lead to
problems with starting and engine damage. Purchase only enough fuel
for a few months. Mixed fuels for use at high temperatures should be
used within 6-8 weeks.
Store fuel only in approved containers in cool and secure areas!
