IMPORTANT: It is Important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuei filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fueis
(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 page 14. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
