ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential fue!
system parts such as carburetor, fuel hose,
ortank 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 damage
the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting
the engine
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 fue! 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.
Always
followthe
mix ratio found on stabilizer
container.
Run engine
at least
10 minutes

to
reach the carburetor.
Do not empty the gas
tank
