You guys make some hella-good pressure washers! I bought one of your 4,000 psi units this year and it runs circles around the old Rigid unit I had from Home Depot. More money but night and day difference in construction and quality. Your customer service was top-shelf helping me decide on which unit to buy as well as afterwards when I wanted a nozzle to provide less pressure for washing my cars. The guy I spoke to there also told me about a bypass line to keep it running better for longer. Great company!
If your model has no fuel drain plug, then you can turn on the engine and run it dry. Adding fuel stabilizer to the tank will also help keep the fuel in good condition and should keep it okay for a few months.
@@BEPowerEquipment another good tip when running the engine, dry is when the engine starts to die off, turn the choke on, and that will help get more of the fuel out of the pilot jet, which is the small jet that is easy to clog.
Instead of draining the fuel cant you add fuel stabilizer to the tank, run your pw and shut the fuel lever off and let it stall on its own? That way you don’t have to drain the fuel.
Running the fuel stabilizer through the carburetor is a good idea but i wouldn't cut fuel to let it die because you're basically leaning it out to the point of failure. If you have a high quality stabilizer and run ethanol free feul most climates will allow for you to store fuel in the system for a few months. I'm not sure how cold it gets where you're at though.
Fuel stabilizer is helpful to maintain your fuel system and needed if you are planning to leave fuel in the tank/carb. The fuel will still be exposed to air (because the fuel tank breathes), so it will begin to oxidize and go stale, but the fuel stabilizer will make it take longer. This method should be okay for several months. If the storage time is going to be stretched longer, draining the tank and carb will be the safest method.
I've never had a problem with a Honda motor, leaving fuel in it all winter, then again I tend to leave it in a place in a garage where you don't have to winterize it.

Thank you for feedback and great review. Much appreciated.
My model does not have fuel drain plug. 2700 psi, GC 160 model

Nice coat

Good video just wish he would have zoomed in on the carburetor plug and that other plug on the pump he was talking about.
Hi Cesar and thank you very much for your feedback, We will use your feedback for future improvement.
Yes for real, is the drain bolt on the silver thing? This is my first pressure washer
Hi! I have a new pressure washer. I have not used it yet and want to put in the shed for winter. Do I need to winterize since outside of the box?
If your unit has not been used yet it will be ok to store it outside as we blow out any water out after testing in our facility. Hope this helps
Could you wear a more cumbersome coat for this presentation....
