NOTE:
Federal EPA regulations require all model year 2012 and later gasoline powered
engines produced for sale in the United States to be equipped with a special
low permeation fuel supply hose between the carburetor and fuel tank. When
servicing model year 2012 and later equipment, only fuel supply hoses certified
by EPA can be used to replace the original equipment supply hose. Fines up to
$37,500 may be enforced for using an un-certified replacement part.
