is an accept-
able alternativein minimizingthe formationof fuelgum depositsduring
storage.Add stabilizerto gasolinein fueltank or storagecontainer.
Alwaysfollow mix ratiofoundon stabilizercontainer.Runengine at

or using 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.
