Hey guys,
I have a unique problem this winter. I live in Pennsylvania, the temp this morning was 24 degrees F. The last week it dipped below 20. I'm getting my equipment winterized, usually everything is stored with Sta-bil fuel stabilizer in our cold garage. This year I have to store nearly everything outside, under many tarps held down from wind with ratchet straps from my trailer.
I have my mowers about half full tanks with Sta-bil run through them already, same with my Little Wonder blower on wheels (honda 4stroke).
The QUESTION is: Should I just empty my saws, trimmers, blowers and let them sit with what little fuel they have in their lines. Or should I just put Sta-bil in fresh mix and run the stuff for a while then store it, so the lines don't freeze and crack.
I'm pretty sure I answered my own question. But since I have to store stuff outside under tarps as opposed to storing it in my cold garage I figured its best to ask.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
