Winterizing Your Side-by-Side, ATV or Lawn Equipment?
Winterizing Your Side-by-Side, ATV or Lawn Equipment? Start With the Fuel
The mower is almost ready for its last trip around the yard. Side-by-sides and quads may be getting used less often. Before long, plenty of seasonal equipment throughout Susquehanna County will be parked for the winter.
Before you put it away, don’t forget about what’s sitting inside the fuel tank.
Why Fuel Choice Matters During Storage
Gasoline-powered equipment that sits unused for months has different needs than the vehicle you drive every day. Fuel quality during storage can affect how easily that mower, ATV, side-by-side, generator, or other small-engine equipment starts when you need it again.
One option is ethanol-free gasoline, available from Hinds Energy in Montrose, PA.
Ethanol attracts moisture, which is one reason ethanol-blended gasoline can present challenges in equipment that spends long periods in storage. Choosing ethanol-free fuel can help eliminate that particular concern when preparing equipment to sit.
Don’t Forget Fuel Treatment
For customers who want additional protection during storage, Hinds Energy also sells K100 fuel-treatment products at our Montrose location.
The right approach depends on the equipment, fuel, and length of storage. Our team can help you determine what makes sense rather than simply grabbing something off the shelf and hoping for the best.
Whether you’re putting away a lawnmower in New Milford, preparing a side-by-side for winter near Rush, or getting seasonal equipment ready for storage in Montrose or even Kinglsey, taking a few minutes to think about fuel now can save frustration when it’s time to start that equipment again.
Hinds Energy has spent generations working with fuel in Northeastern Pennsylvania. When you have a fuel question, ask people who know fuel.
