Fuel

Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.

IMPORTANT: 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-blended fuels (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 pages 16-17. NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
