FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in essential fuel system
parts such as carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or
tank during storage. Also, experience indicates
that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohoi or
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.
,, Drain the fue__ank.
• Start the engine and let 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
alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel
gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to
gasoline in fue! tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
contafner. Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to
reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas
tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
