essential fue! system parts such as the carburetor, fuel fiiter,
fuei hose or tank during storage. Atso, experience indicates
that alcohoi-biended fueis (caIied gasohoi, ethanoi or
methanoi) can attract moisture, which ieads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.
