. To help prevent
corrosion
and power
leakage
during Iong periods
of storage,
battery cables should
be disconnected

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel
system
parts such as carburetor,
fuel
hose, or tank during storage.
Also, alcohol
blended
fuels (called gasohol
or using
ethanol
or methanol)
can attract moisture
which leads to separation
and formation
of
acids during storage.
Acidic gas can dam-
age 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 fue! tank or permanent
damage
may occur,
• Use fresh fuel next season,
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation
of
fuel gum deposits
during storage.
Add
stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or stor-
age container.
Always follow the mix ratio
found
on stabilizer
container.
Run engine
at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer
to reach the carbure-
tor. Do not empty the gas tank and carbu-
retor if using fuel stabilizer.
