more than 30 days. Each time you fill the container with
fuel,add STA-BIL 360°
®

specified by the manufacturer’s instructions. This keeps fuel
fresh and decreases fuel-related problems or contamination
in the fuel system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when
STA-BIL 360°

storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel
