At least once every six months, empty the fuel tank, pour a small quantity
of detergent, and clean the tank thoroughly by shaking it.
Flush the inside with fresh water and drain it completely. Repeat the
flushing and draining procedures several times until all the detergent has been
removed from inside the tank.
Thoroughly clean the tank filter (located at the end of the suction pipe) with
detergent and air dry.

*** Cleaning the engine fuel filter
The engine fuel filter should be cleaned every 20 hours of operation or
every month. In some countries, the fuel quality is poor so cleaning of the filter
should be carried out more frequently.
Stop the engine before removing the filter. Keep away from sparks,
cigarettes, flames or other sources of ignition.
Remove the fuel hoses and clean the filter with detergent. Air dry the filter
then put it back in place making sure the filter case is tightly screwed.
