OIL & FUEL INFORMATION

DEFINITION OF BLENDED FUELS
Today's fuels are often a blend of petrol and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE
(ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as
1% water in the fuel can make fuel form acids when
stored. When using alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh
fuel that is less than 60 days old.
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or if its use is
unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
• Always use fresh unleaded petrol (gasoline)
• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent
• Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing
the unit
Using Fuel Additives
The use of fuel additives, such as STA-BIL
®
Gas
Stabilizer or an equivalent, will inhibit corrosion and
minimize the formation of gum deposits. Using a fuel
additive can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits
in the carburetor for up to six (6) months. Add 0.8 oz.
(23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to
the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel
additives directly to the unit's gas tank.
