Adding a Fuel Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life
Short Term Storage (30–90 days)
If your equipment will not be used for 30–90 days, we recommend the following
to prevent fuel-related problems:
1. Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.
When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only
partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If
you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only
fresh gasoline.
If it takes more than 3 months to use the fuel in your storage container, we
suggest adding a fuel stabilizer to the fuel when you fill the container.
2. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be
sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the
carburetor.
Dry operation will damage the pump seal. Be sure the pump chamber is filled
with water before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine, and move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
