fuel.
Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
& CAUTION:
Alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-
nol) 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.
Empty the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty.
Use fresh fuel
next season.
See Storage Instructions
for
additional information. Never use engine
