• Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in clean,
approved containers.
• To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to
insure easy starting, do not use gasoline left over from
the previous season.
• Do not add oil to the gasoline.

• For best results use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline
with a pump sticker octane rating of 87 or higher.

combustion chamber deposits.
