Gasoline
must be removed or treated to prevent gum
deposits
from forming
in the tank, filter, hose, and
carburetor during storage. Also during storage, al-
cohol blended gasoline
that uses ethanol or metha-
nol (sometimes
called gasohol) attracts water. It acts
on the gasoline
to form acids which
damage
the
engine.

To remove gasoline, run the engine until the tank is
empty and the engine stops Then drain remaining
gasoline from carburetor by pressing upward on
bowl drain located on the bottom of carburetor (See
Fig 41)
If you do not want to remove gasoline,
a fuel
stabilizer
(such as Craftsman Fuel Stabilizer No.
33500) may be added to any gasoline left in the tank
to minimize gum deposits and acids. If the tank is
almost empty, mix stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a
separate
container
and add some to the tank..
