IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture 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 en-
gine problems, empty the fuel system
before storage for 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas tank, start the engine and
let it run until the fuel lines and carbure-
tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next sea-
son. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or per-
manent damage may occur.
See the STORAGE section for additional
information.
