Fuel properties have the greatest and most direct effect on the performance of the equipment that uses them. Hence, there are some important questions that consumers may have about the effects of poor fuel quality and how storage practices can affect it.
Here, we are mainly talking about seasonal equipment like lawn mowers, chain saws, weed whackers, snow mobiles, personal watercraft, and generators. This is especially important when the gasoline contains corrosive ethanol. Any time a piece of equipment is stored for a long period of time, it is best to drain the fuel from the carburetor and the fuel lines. If you have a fuel shut off valve you can turn it off while the engine is running and allow the engine to quit on its own. You can also drain the fuel tank and then run the engine until it stops. Basically you would be using up the fuel in the carburetor and fuel lines leaving these items empty until you are ready to use the equipment again.
