Storage

gasoline, refer to Draining Gasoline, page 12. After
fuel is drained, start engine and let it idle until all fuel
is consumed and engine stops. Repeat the starting
procedure two more times to assure all gas is removed
from the engine. If gasoline is not drained, gum-like
varnish deposits will form and cause poor engine
operation, even starting problems.
Fuel can be left in gas tank only if a fuel additive, such
as T
oro’
s Stabilizer/Conditioner
, is added to gasoline
and run through engine before storing. T
oro’s
Stabilizer/Conditioner is a petroleum distillate based
conditioner/stabilizer. T
oro does not recommend
stabilizers with an alcohol base, such as ethanol,
methanol or isopropyl. Use fuel additive in
recommended quantities as specified on container
