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 fomialion 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 page 15. NEVER use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or

permanent damage may occur.
