indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (called gasoho_ or
those 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 for 30 days or
longer. Start engine and let it rununtil
fuel
