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-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids

dudng storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

DANGER! Drain fuel into approved container outdoors, away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke.

Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine.

Run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel.

Make sure you have water supply to pump inlet connected and tumed ON.
