Your snow blower<\/a> is designed to ensure years of hassle-free operation. Your snow blower\u2019s fuel system is also designed for years of use. However, if you are not mindful of the fuel in your machine and allow it to go bad this can cause starting or running problems and damage to the fuel system. Read more as our experts explain how to avoid most fuel-related problems in your snow blower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fuel Recommendation #1 \u2013 Remove fuel from your snow blower for summer storage.<\/h3>\n

When you’re finished using your snow blower<\/a> for the season, drain the fuel out of your machine. There may still be fuel in the fuel line and carburetor so start your blower<\/a> and allow it to run until no fuel is left in the machine.<\/p>\n

Make sure there is no old fuel resting in your snow blower<\/a>. Old fuel left in your snow blower during the off-season will deteriorate and cause problems for your machine. Your blower<\/a> may not start or run properly and, in some cases, there will be damage to the fuel system.<\/p>\n

Fuel Recommendation #2 – Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol.<\/h3>\n

Gasoline containing higher levels of ethanol is corrosive and attracts water, which can cause starting or running problems and damage to your snow blower’s<\/a> fuel system. Engines produced for use in outdoor power equipment are not designed for gasoline with more than 10% ethanol. Read your owner\u2019s manual for information on the proper fuel to use in your snow blower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fuel Recommendation #3 \u2013 If you use your snow blower infrequently during the winter, add a fuel stabilizer to your fuel storage container.<\/h3>\n

Untreated gas left in your snow blower<\/a> can deteriorate quickly, causing problems for your machine and the fuel system. By ensuring that the fuel in your snow blower<\/a> is stabilized<\/a>, you can minimize the chances of deterioration and damage.<\/p>\n

Fuel Recommendation #4 \u2013 Store fuel properly.<\/h3>\n

Store your fuel in a clean, plastic, sealed container approved for fuel storage. This will help prevent rust and metallic contaminants from entering the fuel system. Close the vent, if equipped, when not in use and store the container away from direct sunlight. Fuel will deteriorate faster when exposed to air and sunlight.<\/p>\n

If it takes longer than 30 days to use the fuel in the container, add a fuel stabilizer when you fill the container.<\/p>\n

Using these fuel recommendations for snow blower<\/a> is very important. If you do not use the proper fuel or allow old fuel to deteriorate, your machine will suffer. If you have questions or concerns about the fuel you\u2019re using, feel free to contact us.<\/p>\n
