STORING YOUR WATER PUMP
Storage Preparation
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your water pump troublefree
and looking good.
Cleaning
If the water pump has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour
before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces, touch up any damaged paint, and
coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
Fuel
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard
starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system.
If the gasoline in your water pump deteriorates during storage, you may need to
have the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.
You can extend fuel storage life by adding a fuel stabilizer, or you can avoid fuel
deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor.
ADDING A FUEL STABILIZER TO EXTEND FUEL STORAGE LIFE
When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank fresh gasoline.
1. Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer's instructions.
2. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the water pump outdoors for 10 minutes to be
sure that treated gasoline has replace the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
3. Stop the engine, and move the fuel valve to the
OFF
position.
