How to Properly Store Your Snow Blower. Correctly storing your snow blower in the off-season is an important step to increase the life of your unit. Running the gas tank empty will ensure that the gasoline doesn't turn to varnish. If it does, the gas can gum up the fuel lines and cause damage to the carburetor. Also, using a cover will prevent sun damage and dust from damaging your snow thrower.

The best way to ensure your snow blower starts in the winter is to store it properly in the spring.

If you follow these two simple steps, your snow blower will ready when you are next winter.

Run the Fuel Dry
It will be six months or more before you use your snow blower again.

Don’t even waste your time adding fuel stabilizer to your gasoline at the end of the season. Instead, remove all the fuel from the tank so the carburetor and fuel lines don't gum up.

Take your snow blower outside and run the gas tank dry. Try to start it again just to make sure that all of the fuel is out of the system.
