ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits
from forming in essential
fuel
system
parts such as carburetor, fuel hose,
or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended
fuels
(called gasohot 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.
, Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine
and letting it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine
or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur°
• Use fresh fuel next season°
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation
of
fuel
gum deposits
during
storage,
Add
stabilizer
to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow the mix ratio found
on stabilizer
container.
Run engine at least
10 minutes
after adding stabilizer
to allow
the stabilizer
to reach the carburetor.
Do not
empty the gas tank and carburetor if using
fuel stabilizer,
