The Mosquito has a two-stroke engine that requires a mixture of oil and gasoline. It is essential for engine life and reliability that the fuel for the Mosquito is mixed properly. Using improperly mixed fuel can cause severe damage to the engine. Keep a separate fuel can for your Mosquito. Tighten the fuel cap and shake the can or bottle for approximately 30 seconds.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can explode and burn if ignited.
Do not fill the tank when the engine is hot. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Avoid sparks and open flames. Any spills should be cleaned up immediately, and move Mosquito away from the spot it was fueled before starting. Remove fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
