RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE
Old fuel is the primary reason for improper
unit performance. Be sure to use fresh,
clean, unleaded gasoline.
NOTE: This is a four cycle engine. In order to avoid
damage to the unit, do not mix oil with gasoline.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether).
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%
water in the fuel can make fuel form acids when stored.
When using alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh fuel that is
less than 60 days old.
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or if its use is
unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
•
Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
•
Use Craftsman Fuel Stabilizer or an equivalent
•
Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit
Using Fuel Additives
The use of fuel additives, such as Craftsman Fuel
Stabilizer or an equivalent, will inhibit corrosion and
minimize the formation of gum deposits. Using a fuel
additive can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits in
the carburetor for up to six (6) months. Add 0.8 oz.
(23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel to an approved
gas container according to the instructions on the
container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's
gas tank.
