DIFFICULTY RATING: (2 out of 5 - Easy)

Proper maintenance of a snowblower will keep it running for years. Manufacturers recommend taking maintenance steps prior to storing the machine during the summer months.
Step 1: Stabilize the gasoline.
The first step is to stabilize the gasoline remaining in the snowblower. To do this, follow the instructions on a container of gas stabilizer and add the recommended amount for a full tank of gas. Pour the stabilizer into a full can of gas and mix the two ingredients thoroughly. Top off the snowblower fuel tank with the stabilized gasoline. Run the snowblower for a few minutes to allow the stabilizer to flow through the fuel system.
Top the fuel tank off with stabilized gasoline.
