Common Service Parts n Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Service Part Part Number Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Air Filter, Flat 499486 When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite fuel vapors. Air Filter Pre-cleaner, Flat Air Filter, Oval Air Filter Pre-cleaner, Oval 273638 792105 792303 Fuel System Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are sold. For engines equipped with a FRESH START® fuel cap, use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® available in a drip concentrate cartridge. There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system before storage. If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness. Engine Oil While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See the How To Change The Oil section.
