WARNING: 2 Stroke fuel when stored for an extended period of time (and
this can sometimes be as little as a month) will go stale. It loses the gases
required for combustion and may render starting difficult. The easiest and
recommended option is not to store fuel for extended periods. You should empty
out all fuel in both your machine and fuel container, and start fresh with new fuel
at the beginning of each new season.
