IMPORTANT INFORMATION 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. Drain the gas tank, start
the engine and let it operate until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
the next season. See Storage for additional
information. Do not use engine or carburetor
cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
