Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner regularly during
operation and storage. A stabilizer/conditioner cleans the
engine during operation and prevents gum–like varnish
deposits from forming in the engine during storage.
IMPORTANT: Do
not use fuel additives other than a
fuel stabilizer/conditioner
. Do not use fuel stabilizers
with an alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or
isopropanol.
