- Cold areas In snow-covered areas, mountainous areas, skiing areas, etc. Where ambient temperatures drop below 0°C (32°F) throughout the winter season, use an anti-freeze solution in the cooling system. Refueling will also complement the effect of anti-freeze solution each time the fuel level drops to about one-half. After the winter season, drain the water which may have accumulated in the fuel filter and fuel tank in the manner same as that described under Affected areas below.
- Affected areas When the water condensation is notched in the fuel filter, drain the water from both the fuel filter and fuel tank or use a water removing agent (or anti-freeze solution) in the fuel tank. Observe the instructions, notes, etc., indicated on the label affixed to the anti-freeze solution (water removing agent) container before use.
