Like all bras,
which go grey with neglect and lose their elasticity, lawnmowers languish in the
absence of regular maintenance. So
if you’re thinking of putting your lawnmower away for winter without giving
that baby some love, think again.
For one thing, gasoline isn’t stable and should be used
within 30 days of purchase.
Otherwise it gets gummy and won't burn.
If you’ve got leftover gasoline in your portable fuel container, either add it to your car's gas tank or mix some gasoline stabilizer into it; the stabilizer prevents gas from breaking down and losing volatility over the winter,
at which point that lame old fuel won’t spark any engine known to man.
If you can't drain or burn off the rest of the fuel in your lawnmower tank before you store it, you can also add gas stabilizer to any fuel remaining in the tank.
End of lecture. Now go and enjoy winter without a single day of lawn mowing in it.
