Well the fuel in the tank also goes bad same as the fuel in the carb.Therefore i let it run until it's out of gas and then drain the carb,this way the entire fuel system including the tank is fuel free for short/long term storage,no harm in some oil in the cylinder as well.It will restart 10+ yrs from now.
I just bought 2 of these, but need to store them in a rodent proof container when not in use. Any ideas of a source for a suitable box, bin or tub? Already searched Amazon & Wal-Mart for a suitable sized plastic bin with no luck.
I've read in a few places about long periods of storage(more than 1 year) that you must COMPLETELY drain the fuel tank, here it states to follow 60day to 1yr rules and add fuel until FULL with fuel stabilizer. Am I missing something?
The idea of filling it full with fuel would eliminate the possibility of condensation inside of the tank. No air space for air ( mostly humid climates) to condensate into water. I would go with a non-ethanol marine gas if available. There is a 6+ month study going on the "Taryl Fixes All" channel for fuel storage with stabilizers updated each month.
