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 "gasohot" or using 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 Ionger_ Follow these instructions:

Protect Fuel System: Engines stored over 30 days need to be protected or drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts.

°For en_i_e protection use a fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL .Mix stabilizer with fuel in fuel tank and run

engine for short time to circulate stabilizer through carburetor.

-If you did use "gasohol", run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel. Make sure you have water supply to pump inlet connected and turned ONo
