I like that your blog allows us some insight into the world of the manufacturer. I learn something new every time I visit. Thanks! Interesting read on the the Bravo warranty issues.

But we use side vents to allow air flow and also blue in colour for uv protection plus store them off the ground in racks.Also with all the fuel issues in Ontario and alcohol content stabilizer is not enough you protect against migration of water into fuel - isopranol must be used to disperse the water. Also the lite ends will disperse over time and therefore fuel quality is compromised and render it unsafe for use next season-DETONATION!!!!. We recommend draining the fuel completely including carb bowls to eliminate next fall problems. <em>...Thanks Brock, as I said, no-one-size fits-all solutions, vented UV shrink-wrap up in racks sounds OK to me, hopefully we've provoked a little thought for the folks that just park it under a tree and tarp it!</em> Hi CR;
Great post – but I need to contradict your comments on shrinkwrap- We have been doing customers machines for storage for 8 years now with no issues!

…Thanks Brock, as I said, no-one-size fits-all solutions, vented UV shrink-wrap up in racks sounds OK to me, hopefully we’ve provoked a little thought for the folks that just park it under a tree and tarp it!

Ambient air always moving is the key. Stay away from ground "ph" and moisture. ( think you can relate with ground moss and mildew.) Never just start them up to make sure they run. For any season....empty to full tank still in question. <em>...good points DNR, Our service department concurs on the empty v.s. full tank. Factory says on carbureted models to drain the tank and float bowls and on FI models to fill the tank and add stabilizer ... I guess the main point is to do something (aside from running hard and putting away wet!!!) cheers cr</em> Hey cr, a 45 ft. by 45 ft roof, loosely
