STORAGE

Fuel

Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause

hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If

the gasoline in your mower deteriorates during storage, you may need

to have the carburetor and other fuel system components, serviced or

replaced.

The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and

carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such

factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the

fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel

tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures

accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur

within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when

you filled the fuel tank.

The Distributor’s Limited Warranty (page 61) does not cover fuel

system damage or engine performance problems resulting from

neglectful storage preparation.

You can extend fuel storage life by adding a fuel stabilizer (page 60)

that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration

problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor.

Adding fuel stabilizer to extend fuel storage life

When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If

only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during

storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it

contains only fresh gasoline.

1. Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10

minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated

gasoline in the carburetor.

3. Stop the engine, and turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. This

turns off the fuel flow between the fuel tank and the carburetor.
