WARNING:

Experience indicates that

 

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

 

those using ethanol or methanol) can

 

attract moisture which leads to separation

 

and formation of acids dunng storage.

 

Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of

 

an engine while in storage. To avoid engine

 

problems, the fuel system should be

I

emptied before storage for 30 days or

longer. Start engine and let it run until fuel

lines and carburetor are empty. Use

carburetor bowl drain to empty residual

gasoline from float chamber (See figure in

Storage section, page 16). Use fresh fuel

next season. (See Storage Instructions on

page 16 for additional information).

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.
