5 Steps For Storing EFI Motors
1. Fill the Tank With Fresh Gasoline - Many mud motor owners
fail to ll the tank before storing it for the o-season. By
lling your tank with gas, you decrease the chance of
getting air in the tank. Air is bad for your gas tank because
air allows condensation build-up. So, top o your boat
with fresh, treated gasoline.
2. Add Fuel Stabilizer - As you ll your gas tank, combine
it with a fuel stabilizer. Fuel stabilizer additionally helps
prevent build-up. Along with decreasing the chances of
condensation in your tank, this additive protects your fuel
lines, fuel injectors, and carburetors, as well.
3. Run The Engine For 10-15 Minutes - This will allow that
fresh treated gasoline to work its way through the engine
and hoses, replacing any of the old fuel. Do not run engine
dry.
4. Perform Routine Maintenance - Now is the perfect time to
do another round of maintenance. Change the spark plugs,
change the air lter, change the fuel lter and change the
oil and oil lter.
5. Disconnect the battery - This will increase the life of your
battery.
If stored longer than 30 days, the cylinders should be
protected with a cylinder fogging available from marine
stores by injecting the fog in the cylinders through the
spark plug holes. Cylinders that become corroded will
loose compression and void the emissions warranty.
Cover the engine to protect from rain and snow to
prevent corrosion and water from entering the exhaust
outlet.
