NOTE:
Short term storage applies to equipment that is to be stored for a period of 30 to 120
days.
CAUTION: Ford part number E8AZ-19C544-A, or an equivalent additive can
be used, for any length of storage. It is imperative in any application where
the fuel will not be consumed within thirty days. Without additives, fuel in
the fuel tank will cause varnish and contaminants to form. This causes prob-
lems in fuel delivery by clogging fuel injectors.
NOTE:
Ford fuel stabilizer comes in an 8 fl. oz. (236.6 cc) bottle available through all EDI
Distributors. The correct ratio is 2 fl. oz.(59.15 cc) stabilizer to 5 gals. (18.9 L) of
gasoline.
