If adding a fuel preserver, fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. if only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used, drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage for additional information.
