Slowly add fuel to fuel tank. Use a funnel to
prevent spillage. Fill tank to about 1.5" below top
of the filler neck.
* Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
IMPORTANT: 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, experience indicates that
alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, 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. See
"Storage" on pages 16-17. NEVER use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
