4. Cover the engine once the engine and exhaust system are cool.
Some materials can ignite or melt if the engine and/or exhaust
system is hot. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover.
4.1 Use a cover made from a breathable fabric to prevent
rust and corrosion.
5. Store with gasoline that does not contain ethanol or a similar
alcohol-based fuel additive. Fuel with alcohol-based additives
may phase separate into gasoline, alcohol and water when
stored for more than a few weeks.
FUEL
IMPORTANT! Avoid fuel phase separation by using premium
quality fuel of at least 89 octane.
Gasoline with ethanol or alcohol-based additives may phase
separate and deteriorate in storage. Phase separated gasoline will
cause hard starting and leave gum deposits that clog the fuel
system. Phase separated fuel will contain water that will prevent
the engine from working and may damage the engine systems.
You may need to service or replace the carburetor and other fuel
system components if that gasoline in your engine deteriorates
during storage.
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.
