Protect FuelSystem
FuelAdditive:
Fuelwill becomestale whenstored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causesacids and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essentialcarburetor parts. Prior to storage, if gasoline
has not beentreated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained
from the engine into an approved container. Then run engine
until it stops from lack of fuel.
Whenfuel stabilizers are used according to their
instructions, there is no needto drain the gasoline from the
engine prior to storage. Use Briggs & Stratton FRESH
STARTTM fuel stabilizer, availableas a liquid additive or a drip
concentrated liquid cartridge. Run the engine for a short time
to circulate stabilizer throughout the fuel system. Engineand
fuel canthen be stored up to 24 months.
If gasoline is drained, the useof a fuel stabilizer in the
storage container is still recommendedto maintain
freshness.
