If you're like a lot of people who keep spare gas on hand, you know full well that things can go bad over time, and by that I mean some of the vapor that makes it easier for the spark to ignite is lost. If it's stored in a container that isn't tightly sealed, your gas will simply evaporate and you'll have less gas and what's left will contain some water. NOT GOOD ! Here's a reason few know. LPG does some crazy things. Below 68 degrees. f. it draws into its liquid state some air with moisture and also some of its own vapor, you can see it. Make sure you have a well-sealed, 1/2 full gas bottle below 68 degrees. The sides of the can are sucked in with a vacuum of 2 psi. Now 10% alcohol will absorb any water in the air. If your gas tank or jerrycan is vented, as it should be when the engine is running, above 68 degrees. f. The gas will begin to vaporize and build up a pressure of 2 psi. When the tank or jar is sealed, it expands. With an aerated tank you will never notice this, except that your gas will go BYBY and the alcohol will now contain more and more water. The intake valve stem is sticking and the carburetor is clogged. Now I have 4 septa of water. in use . by ---HERB THE POWERMAN--- PS . If you're storing gas for a long shed, it should be in an airtight container with no ventilation, but be aware that it will expand and contract 2-3 pounds. when the temperature rises above and below 68 degrees f. Make sure your safe can handle pressure changes. Keep all cans and canisters outside of your home or garage. Don't put them next to the BBQ area or under the mother-in-law's bed! The gas lasts for many years.
