How do you prep your mowers for Winter storage?

In fuel storage, phase separation occurs when enough water contaminates the gasoline, causing the ethanol to attach itself to the water molecules and leaving two distinct layers in the storage tank.

Right- the cloudy water/Ethanol layer and the gas on top- I wrote that mine was just gas on top of liquid water and it was only cloudy after shaking the bottle, but it settled out later. There's no milky layer and in phase separation, the only way to remedy it is to remove the layer with water/alcohol.

Again, I have seen plenty of bad gas by working on boats and what I had isn't what I saw in those fuel systems.

Think the fan deal might be overkill. Simple daily wind should suffice. Your mower so build it up if you like. As you are doing, build some kind of lean-to shed deal'io.

The slab is behind my garage and the only time enough air moves is during high wind.

This may be a moot point, though- the cost of living here has become unaffordable- the shiny new property tax and water bills arrived and the increases are insane, so I'm not staying here.

I'm trying to understand why my water bill is $200/quarter when average use is only 4,000 gallons. I mean, I know why- it's all of the fees for environmental, sewer, etc but it's ridiculous. And I can't have a well because of the water quality in this area.

I used to have septic, on city water, bill was $28 month.

Friends that have city sewer pay 75% more than the water bill..

One problem here is that the bill for my duplex shows two fees that are twice as much as a single family home and when I traded messages with the Mayor (small city), he thought I have two water mains and sewer laterals. It's not a lot per quarter, but over more than 25 years, it adds up. We have our own water treatment facility and they just spent a bundle for improvements- I don't remember seeing any notices about it, just that the rates were going up.

This city has lost its charm......
