ECO PLUS

Briggs & Stratton has a long-standing commitment to protect the environment. Core to the New E-SERIES engines is the reduction of engine exhaust emissions. ECO PLUSgoes one step further, in addition to reducing exhaust emissions, it also reduces evaporative emissions. Evaporative emissions occur when an engine is not in use. During equipment storage, whether it be a lawnmower, tiller, or generator, the fuel in the tank evaporates and the hydrocarbons together with nitrogen-oxides pollute the air resulting in increased petrol emissions. ECO PLUSsignificantly reduces these evaporative emissions and as a result lessens the petrol odour in your storage area.
