Where should the sprayer nozzles and screens be stored?

• A. In a jar of unused light oil or kerosene
• B. In water
• C. In a sealed plastic bag
• D. In direct sunlight

Answer: (A)

Store sprayer nozzles and screens in unused light oil or kerosene to keep metal parts protected from rust and corrosion and to prevent rubber seals from drying out. The oil also helps prevent residues from drying and clogging delicate passages, preserving spray performance. Water promotes rust and microbial growth, a sealed plastic bag can trap moisture and cause corrosion, and direct sunlight can degrade seals and lubricants and accelerate component wear. So keeping the parts submerged or stored in fresh light oil or kerosene in a labeled container is the best practice.
