FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum
deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel system
parts such as carburetor,
fuel
filter, fuel hose,
or tank during
storage.
Alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohol
or
using
ethanol
or methanol)
can attract
moisture
which
leads
to separation
and
formation
of acids during
storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the fuel system
of an
engine
while
in storage.
