IMPORTANT
Experience indicatesthatalcohol 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, empty the fuel
system before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the fuel
tank, start the engine and let it rununtil the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank, or permanent damage may occur.
See the Storage section for additional information.
