Four Questions to Ask Before Fueling Your
Outdoor Power Equipment This Fall
Special to the Ledger
Autumn is coming
soon, which means fall
leaves and yard work.
Homeowners are open
ing up their garages and
sheds and getting out
their mowers, trimmers,
blowers, power wash
ers, and other outdoor
power equipment to
use for fall chores. The
Outdoor Power Equip
ment Institute (OPEI),
an international trade
association representing
power equipment, small
engine, utility vehicle,
golf car and personal
transport vehicle manu
facturers and suppliers,
provides these tips to
get “backyard ready”
for fall—starting with
proper fueling of your
equipment.
“You want your equip
ment available when you
need it, and that starts
with proper maintenance
and fueling,” said Kris
Kiser, OPEI President
and CEO. “Always check
which fuel you’re buying
before filling up.”
Four questions to ask
before you start fueling
outdoor power equip
ment:
1. Have you read the
owner’s manual for the
equipment? Always
follow manufacturer’s
fueling recommenda
tions and use the type of
fuel specified.
2. Is the fuel in your
equipment fresh? Fuel
should not sit in the
tank for more than 30
days. Untreated gasoline
(without a fuel stabilizer)
left in the system will
deteriorate, which may
cause starting or running
problems and, in some
cases, damage to the fuel
system.
3. Did you purchase the
correct fuel? What goes
in your car or truck may
not be the correct fuel
to use in your outdoor
power equipment. There
are many choices at the
pump today, and you
should only use E10 or
less fuel in any outdoor
power equipment. Some
gas stations may offer
15 percent ethanol (E15)
gas or higher ethanol
fuel blends, but any fuel
containing greater than
10 percent ethanol can
damage - and is illegal
to use, says the Envi
ronmental Protection
Agency (EPA) -in small
engine equipment not
designed for it.
4. Are you using a fuel
additive or the manu
facturer’s fuel? Many
manufacturers make
fuel additives and fuels,
sold at retail locations, to
improve equipment per
formance and mitigate
any fueling problems
caused by ethanol-based
fuels. Check with your
manufacturer’s recom
mendations and make the
best choice that will keep
your equipment running
strong all season.
“It’s also important to
drain fuel tanks before
storing equipment for the
winter,” he said. “Fuel
more than 30 days old
isn’t good for machines.
Also service and win
terize your lawn mower,
string trimmer, leaf
blower, and other out
door power equipment
before storing so it’s
ready to get jobs done.”
