Explain the importance of proper fuel storage.
Explanation should include concepts related to
- safety precautions when handling fuel (e.g., PPE)
- fuel storage safety
- use of appropriate containers
- deterioration of fuel (i.e., it occurs within one-two months)
- the extension of fuel life with stabilizer
- draining gasoline from small-engine equipment before long periods of inactivity (e.g., in a lawn mower over the winter).
Process/Skill Questions:
- When should you assume that fuel is bad?
- If you assume fuel is bad, what precautions should be taken with the equipment?
