components and result in poor engine performance. Always store fuel in
clean fuel containers. If low fuel pressure or reduced engine
performance occurs between the recommended fuel filter service
intervals, the filter may need replacement. Please see your dealer.
Inspect the fuel lines regularly for signs of deterioration or damage.
Always check fuel line condition after periods of storage. Normal
deterioration from weather and fuel compounds may occur. Replace
