IMPORTANT
• Spilled fuel is a leading cause of
hydrocarbon emissions. Some states may
require the use of automatic fuel shut-off
containers to reduce fuel spillage.
• Stored fuel ages.
Do not mix more fuel than you expect to
use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days
when a fuel stabilizer is added.
• Stored two-stroke fuel may separate.
ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly
before each use.
AFTER USE -
DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can
occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel
storage container.
STORAGE -
Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your
local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight
container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied
