Fuel
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline (more than 3 months old) will cause
hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your engine
deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system compo-
nents serviced or replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing func-
tional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and
whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes
fuel deterioration. Very warm storage/temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration
problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you filled
the fuel tank.
The Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty does not cover fuel system damage or engine performance
problems resulting from neglected storage preparation. You can extend fuel storage life by adding
a fuel stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by
draining the fuel tank and carburetor.
Do not keep same gasoline in engine for more than 3 months!!!
Adding a fuel additive to extend fuel service life
When adding fuel additive, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled. Air in the tank
will increase fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be
sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
Follow the fuel additive instructions of the manufacturer.
After filling fuel additive into the tank. Idle run, the engine outdoors for 10 minutes ensure
that additive mixture has been distributed in the whole engine block and in particular in the
carburetor.
Stop the engine, and move the fuel valve to the OFF position.
Draining the fuel tank and carburetor
Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor, and use a funnel to avoid spill-
ing fuel.
Remove the carburetor drain bolt, and then pull out the fuel tube. We recommend to drain
the fuel tank first and the carburetor secondly
After all the fuel has drained into the container, reattach the drain bolt and fuel tube. Ensure
that both bolt and tube are securely tightened.
