Fuel Tank
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
capacity for the tank is 5.8 gallons (22 liters).
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage
and keep the cap correctly tightened.
The engine will operate on a minimum of
87-octane unleaded gasoline (no oil mix).
Environmentally adapted alkylate gasoline can
be used. See Technical Data concerning ethanol
fuel. Methanol fuel is not permitted. Do not use
E85 alcohol based fuel. Damage to the engine
and components may occur.
When operating in temperatures less than 32° F
O
(0 C), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to
help insure good cold weather starting.
Warning! The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot during operation.
There is a risk for burns if touched. Let engine
and exhaust system to cool before refueling.
Warning! Fill to the bottom of the filler
neck. Do not overfill. Clean off spilled oil or fuel.
Do not keep, spill or use gasoline near an open
flame.
Warning! Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors
(see Safe Handling of Gasoline in the Safety

IMPORTANT Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol, 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 prevent engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and
let it operate until the fuel lines and carburetor
are empty. Use fresh fuel the next season.
See Storage for more information. Do not use
engine or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
