You should drain a chainsaw’s fuel tank if the
saw is going to go in storage for the season or remain unused for more than
three months. Occasionally, the tank may also require draining and/or cleaning
for certain repairs. Whatever the reason, you can rest assured that the task of
removing gas from the tank and cleaning it is relatively simple and requires
only a few basic tools.
Run the Chainsaw until it Dies
Running a chainsaw engine until it dies is definitely the
easiest way of emptying a chainsaw if not the most effective way. Running the
chainsaw until it is dead ensures that minimum fuel is in the tank if any at
all and anyone can do this even those with very little experience using and
maintaining chainsaws.
Stabliser
If you are a little more savvy you could also simply use
stabiliser over the winter months to
stop the need to drain the tank which can be quite time consuming. Only problem
is you have to get the mix right and there isn’t exactly a stand procedure for
every chainsaw as well as every time of fuel mix. The best thing to do is
contact the manufacturer to find out more.
