Place the choke (if equipped) in the ON position, then pull the engine over 2 times and let stand for 1 hour. Primer Style Starting: Depress the primer bulb 6-8 times on machines equipped with primers and prime the MIB into the carburettor.Ĭhoke Style Starting: On machines with chokes you will need to loosen the bowl drain on the bottom of the carburettor (if equipped) to allow the MIB to enter the carburettor bowl, use shallow container under the carburettor to catch excess MIB and tighten the bowl nut once you see MIB coming out.ī: Be sure the spark plug boot is removed. Add a minimum of 2oz of Mechanic In A Bottle to the empty gas tank. Proceed to Step 4.Ī: Drain the fuel from the tank and dispose of in accordance with local and state regulations. If you suspect a severely contaminated fuel system then let it stand longer or even overnight. Be sure the spark plug boot is removed and place the choke in the ON position then pull the engine over 2 times and let stand for 1 hour. Add 1oz of Mechanic In A Bottle to the empty gas tank and then depress primer bulb 8-10 times to get the MIB into the carburettor. Primer Style Starting: Depress the primer bulb 6-8 times.Ĭhoke Style Starting: Place the choke in the ON position and rotate the engine 6-8 times.ī: Now let stand overnight or for at least 6-8 Hours (results have been seen in as little as 15 minutes).Ĭ: Reattach the spark plug boot and attempt to start the engine.ĭ: If engine starts and runs properly, continue to run an additional gallon of fuel with MIB added at the rate of 2oz to 1 gallon of fuel to deep clean the system.Į: Use Ethanol Shield with future gasoline purchases and follow the directions on the label to protect your fuel system and preserve the fuel.ĭrain the fuel from the tank and dispose of in accordance with local and state regulations. Agitate the equipment a few times to ensure the MIB is distributed throughout the fuel. Add MIB directly to the tank with marginal fuel. If the fuel is stale or you have 2 Cycle Equipment proceed to Step 3.Ī: Add at a rate of 2oz MIB to 1 gallon of fuel. If the test results indicate or you assume it is marginal, then proceed to Step 2. Keep in mind ethanol has an overpowering scent and will mask the sour decaying fuel. If you do not have one, then try to determine if the fuel is marginal or bad (stale) by smelling the fuel briefly for a sour scent. IMPORTANT: You must get the MIB into the carburettor for it to clean the fuel system components and rejuvenate the plastic and rubber components from the adverse effects of the ethanol blended fuel.ĭetermine if the fuel is fresh, stale or marginal with a Mechanic In a Bottle Test Swab. USE MIB THE FIRST TIME YOU START YOUR EQUIPMENT EVERY SEASON FOR EASY STARTING AND TOP PERFORMANCE!įIRST Step is SAFETY: Disconnect the spark plug lead from the spark plug until you are ready to start the engine! UP TO 80% OF ENGINE REPAIRS START WITH BAD FUELįIX these problems with Mechanic In A Bottle & PREVENT future problems with Ethanol Shield! If there is physical damage to fuel system components such as torn / rotted rubber components or scale (white rust) from phase separated fuel, the fuel system will have to be serviced further. By not disturbing the original factory seals or introducing other contaminants inadvertently, it will not only speed up repair time, it will also reduce further technical complications. Mechanic In A Bottle (MIB) is designed to clean the fuel system without removing the carburettor.
