Is letting fuel sit in the tank over winter bad for a gas edge trimmer and what should you do? |
[Edit] |
Drain the Tank for Winter Storage
Leaving fuel in the gas tank of lawn mowers or edge trimmers is not a good idea. Stale fuel can form a varnish-like residue in the fuel tank, fuel line, and carburator. To prevent this, either run the machine until the gas tank is empty or simply empty the fuel tank before storing the trimmer for the winter. If you have left fuel in the tank over the winter, it would be best to drain it from the fuel tank and add fresh fuel before using the trimmer. Also, a small container of fuel stabilizer, available at any home improvement or lawn care center, can be added to your gasoline can to keep it from getting stale during the season.
