IMPORTANT
Experience
indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol
or using
ethanol or methanol)
can attract mois-
ture which leads to separation
and
formation
of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage
the fuel sys-
tem of an engine while in storage.
To
avoid engine problems,
empty the fuel
system before storage for 80 days or
longer. Drain the gas tank, start the en-
gine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season. Never use engine or car-
buretor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent
damage
may oc-
cur. See the STORAGE section for
additional
information.
