not properly hooked up or there is a fuel leak when you start the engine.
Inspect the entire fuel system. Look for:
signs of leaks or deterioration,
chafed or spongy fuel hose,
loose connections,

WARNING
:
Fuel fire/explosion hazard
Burner fuels are combustible at warm temperatures. Heat, sparks, and flames can ignite fuel
vapors, which can become widespread during fueling. A flash fire and/or explosion could
result and cause serious injury or death. Always use extreme care when handling fuels.
Carefully follow all instructions to avoid the following conditions which could result in fuel
ignition:
gas vapor collection inside enclosures
static electric sparks
sparks from electric wiring, batteries, or running engines
sources of heat (such as a hot engine, burner or exhaust)
open flames, including pilot lights
Always follow these general safety rules when fueling:
1) Turn pressure washer off and allow to cool for at least two minutes before removing any fuel cap.
