Fuel mix ages
If not using MotoMix, only mix sufficient
fuel for a few days of work, not to exceed
30 days of storage. Store in approved
fuel-containers only. When mixing, pour
oil into the container first, and then add
gasoline. Close the container and shake
it by hand to ensure the proper mix of oil
and gasoline.
WARNING
Shaking fuel can cause pressure to build
in the fuel container. To reduce the risk
of fire and severe personal injury or
property damage from fuel spraying,
allow the fuel container to sit for several
minutes before opening. Open the
container slowly to release any residual
pressures. Never open the fuel
container in the vicinity of any ignition
source. Read and follow all warnings
and instructions that accompany your
fuel container.

the fuel filler cap carefully so that any
