Manual that came with mower reccomends that I run engine till dry.

Briggs and Straton website recommends that I fill gas tank with freash
gas and gas stablizer and store mower that way.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In this order, add stabilizer to gas, top off gas to full, run engine
till HOT. ( oil must be hot, could take a while), replace oil with
fresh oil. Run engine again until hot. Top off gas tank again. Done.
Don';t be tempted to start it once in a while. Won't do any good.
if it has an electric starter you might want to hook up the battery to
some battery-maintainer.
Not sure why they want a full tank instead of emptying it. Probably
because it is easier to do ? With metal fuel tanks they usually do it
to prevent rust on the inside of the tank. your mower probably ha sa
plastic tank.
Might also do the sparkplug/oil-spray thing that someone else here
suggested.
