In hot weather you can find the petrol evaporates and leaves the oil behind
to gum up the works, or at least change the fuelil ratio, cauing smoke,
poor running etc.


That maybe explains why I don't have a problem with storing fuel in
mine. The strimmer is kept in the corner of a very cold, North facing
garage.

Over winter I'd agree but my strimmer only gets use about once a month
during the summer, the garage then can be quite warm.
