If you do not plan to use the water pump for more than 30
days, you must prepare the engine and pump for long
term storage.
6.12.1 — Protect Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale
fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel sys-
tem or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,
use a fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip
concentrate cartridge.
