of filler neck.
Do
not overfill.
Use fresh,
clean,
regular
unleaded
gasoline
with a minimum
of
87 octane.
(Use of leaded
gasoline
will increase
carbon
and lead oxide
deposits
and reduce
valve
life).
Do not
mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase
fuel in
quantities
that can be used within
30
days to assure
fuel freshness.

winter
grade
gasoline
to help insure
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
