Happy October!
Here are three accessories we use every fall to prep our outdoor power equipment for winter storage:
|
1. Fuel Stabilizer
Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer

8-ounce bottle. #2134561. Sale price: $6.90 now through 10/9/12

We add fuel stabilizer to all our outdoor power equipment before storing for winter. Why? Fuel is made of compounds that change as it ages. Adding stabilizer to fuel helps keep it fresher longer and slows damaging buildup that can clog fuel lines when fuel is stored for extended periods.
Can I add fuel stabilizer to fuel that's already been sitting unused for a month or so?
It's likely that there is already buildup in the fuel. Fuel stabilizer only slows build up; it cannot remove the gummy substance that has already formed. That's why stabilizer should be added when the fuel is fresh.

 2. Engine/Equipment Degreaser
Briggs & Stratton. 15-ounce bottle. #2304543. Click here for more info.
Sale Price: $6.30 now through 10/9/12
We use this degreaser to eliminate oil spots on engines and equipment. It has a fresh orange scent.
Why is it important to use an engine/equipment degreaser?
Oils spot collect dust and debris, which can block air passages to the engine and result in damaging overheating problems. Before storing our lawn mowers and other equipment, we spray this degreaser on greasy and dirty areas. Let the degreaser sit for 10-15 minutes, then wipe the sprayed area with a clean cloth, rinse off it off with a hose and dry completely.

3. Carburetor/Choke Cleaner
Briggs & Stratton. 8-ounce bottle. #1639117.
Click here for more info.
Sale Price: $4.50 now through 10/9/12 We use this cleaner on our lawn mowers and other outdoor power equipment before winter storage and then again mid-summer.
Why is it important to clean outdoor power equipment carburetors? Using a cleaner to dissolve deposits that buildup in carburetors and chokes reduces maintenance and downtime and improves starting performance for two-cycle and four-cycle engines. |
