stored

for

over

engine

and

allow

to

run

at

idle

speed

until

the

engine

stops.

NOTE:

Running

the

engine

‘

until

will

re-

move

most

of

the

fuel

from

the

fuel

is

important

to

prevent

gum

deposits

from

forming

in

essential

fuel

parts

such

fuel

hose,

or

tank

dur-

ing

storage.

Alcohol

blended

fuels

(called

gasohol

or

can

attract

mois-

ture

which

leads

to
