that gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have
the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and
carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with factors such
as gasoline blend, storage temperatures and the amount of fuel in the
tank. The air in a partially filled fuel tank will promote fuel deterioration, as
will warm storage temperatures. Fuel problems may occur in a few
months or sooner if the gasoline was not fresh when the tank was filled.
Adding a gasoline stabilizer that is formulated for this purpose can
extend fuel storage life. Deterioration problems can also be avoided
by draining the fuel tank and carburetor prior to storage.
ADDING A GASOLINE STABILIZER
1.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If the tank is only partially
filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage.
2.
Add gasoline stabilizer. Ensure that the instructions for that product are followed.
3.
Run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to ensure that treated
gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
4.
Stop the engine.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
1.
Check the engine as described in the section Operation -
Before Starting the Engine
2.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline.
a.
If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, ensure that
it contains only fresh gasoline.
b.
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate over time, causing hard
starting (see Fuel).
3.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the
engine will smoke briefly at start up. This is normal.
