Use
fresh,
clean,
regular
unleaded

good
cold
weather
starting.
CAUTION:
Alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohol
or using
ethanol
or methanol)
can
attract
moisture
which
leads
to separation
and formation
of acids during storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the fuel system
of an engine
while
in storage.
To avoid engine
problems,
the fuel
system
should
be emptied
before
storage
of 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas
tank,
start the engine
