FUEL
SYSTEM
mMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum
deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel sys-
tem parts such as carburetor,
fuel filter, fuel
hose, or tank during
storage.
Also, alcohol
blended
fuels (called
gasohol
or using etha-
nol 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 en-
gine 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
al-
ternative
in minimizing
the formation
of fuel
gum deposits
during
storage.
Add stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or storage
container.
AJways followthe
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
