system. Phase separated fuel will contain water that will prevent
the engine from working and may damage the engine systems.
You may need to service or replace the carburetor and other fuel
system components if that gasoline in your engine deteriorates
during storage.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and
carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with
factors such as gasoline blend, storage temperatures and the
amount of fuel in the tank. The air in a partially filled fuel tank will
promote fuel deterioration, as will warm storage temperatures.
Fuel problems may occur in a few months or sooner if the
gasoline was not fresh when the tank was filled.
Adding a gasoline stabilizer that is formulated for this purpose
can extend fuel storage life. Deterioration problems can also be
avoided by draining the fuel tank and carburetor prior to storage.
ADDING A GASOLINE STABILIZER
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline.
2. Add gasoline stabilizer. Ensure that the instructions for that
product are followed.
3. Run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to ensure that treated
gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
4. Stop the engine.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
1. Check the engine as described in the section Operation -
Before Starting the Engine.
2. Fill the tank with fresh gasoline if the fuel was drained during
storage preparation.
2.1 Ensure that it contains fresh gasoline if you keep a
container of gasoline for refuelling,
2.2 Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate over time, causing
hard starting (see Fuel).
