IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as
the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alco-
hol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or metha-
nol) 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 stor-
age. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of 30 days or lon-
ger. See the
buretor cleaner products in the fuel tank as
permanent damage may occur.
