UsING fUEL sTABILIsER
Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding a
fuel stabiliser extends the usable life of fuel and helps prevent
deposits from forming that can clog the fuel system. Follow
fuel stabiliser manufacturer’s directions for correct ratio of
stabiliser to fuel.
n
Add stabiliser to fuel tank, then fill with unleaded fuel
following previous instructions.
NOTE: Fuel stabiliser and unleaded fuel can be mixed
prior to filling the tank by using a gas can or other
approved fuel container and shaking gently to combine.
n
Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.
n
Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow
stabiliser to treat the entire fuel system.
OXyGENATED fUELs
DO NOT UsE E85 fUEL. IT WILL VOID yOUR
WARRANTy.
NOTE:
Some conventional petrol are blended with alcohol or
an ether compound. This type of petrol is collectively referred
to as oxygenated fuel; in Australia known as Ethanol. The use
