Protect Fuel System
FuelAdditive:
Fuelwill becomestale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acids and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Prior to storage, if gasoline has not beentreated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained from the engine into an approved container. Then run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
When fuel stabilizers are used according to their instructions, there is no needto drain the gasoline from the engine prior to storage. Use Briggs & Stratton FRESH STARTTM fuel stabilizer, availableas a liquid additive or a drip concentrated liquid cartridge. Run the engine for a short time to circulate stabilizer throughout the fuel system. Engineand fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.
If gasoline is drained, the use of a fuel stabilizer in the
storage container is still recommended to maintain freshness.
