THE FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING:
Do not drain the gasoline inside a build-
ing or near a fire. Do not smoke because the fumes
from the fuel can cause an explosion.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel
system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, 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 damage the
fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Follow these instructions:
NOTE:
Fuel
stabilizer
(like
STA-BtL)
is an acceptable
alternative in reducing the formation of fuel gum in the fuel tank
and the gasoline storage container. Always follow the mix ratio
located on the container of stabilizer. Run the engine at least 10
minutes after adding the stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to
reach the carburetor. Do not drain the fuel tank and carburetor
if stabilizer is used.
If you do not use a stabilizer, do the following:
1.
Start the engine.
2
Run the engine until the fuel tank and the carburetor are out of
fuel and the engine stops.
3
Do not leave fuel in the fuel tank or the carburetor. The fuel can
damage the function of the fuel system.
4
After storage, make sure you use fresh fuel
