•Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
•If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give protection from dust and dirt.
•Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do not
use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and will cause
your unit to rust.
