IMPORTANT: I t is important to preventgum depositsfrom forming
in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank
during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol
or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damagethe fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer.See the "Storage"section. Never use engine or carburetor
cleanerproducts in the fuel tank as permanentdamagemay occur.
