WARNING
Handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable. Fueling a hot engine or an
engine near an ignition source can cause fire and result in serious
personal injury and/or property damage.
When preparing fuel, use only the amount needed for the job you are to do. Do not use fuel that has been stored
longer than two months. Fuel stored longer than this will cause hard starting and poor performance. If fuel has been
stored longer than this time, it should be removed and filled with fresh fuel.
