I used to keep my electric mower in my attatched 6x10' shed that has an instant on propane water heater. The shed is well vented. I ran the mower dry of gas then I poured off anything remaining from tank. At this time the flaot bowl leaked out too. It is sitting in sun with the gas lid loose. Is this safe to store in my shed? I also have a gallon of gas in a new plastic jug. I wouldn't keep this in the shed. Is the jug safe to store this outside? I have a tarped enclosure big enough to fit my kids gas go-kart. Wadjall think?
