IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,
fuelhose,ortankduringstorage.Also,alcoholblendedfuels

moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of
an engine while in storage.
