This genuine Toro OEM Premium Fuel Treatment is formulated to protect 2-cycle and 4-cycle small engines from the harmful effects of ethanol-blended fuels, which can absorb moisture and degrade over time — leaving gum, varnish, and corrosive deposits in carburetors, fuel lines, and fuel system components. Adding fuel treatment with every fill-up from the first use is one of the simplest preventative maintenance steps available, and is especially important for equipment that will sit unused for extended periods such as seasonal storage. Refer to the product label for the correct dosage.
