ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION AhlD

FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM O F AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

Drain the fuel tank.

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carbu- retor are empty.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min- imizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage contain- er. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer con- tainer. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabi- lizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
