I agree that if it is just for the winter and you start using the machine again in the spring you will get away with it; I have never had a problem. I think the rust problems became worse several years ago when MTBE was added to gasoline in our region of the country. I have one engine that we sometimes wouldn't use until later in the summer and it would have rust in the carb bowl. MTBE oxygenated the fuel, so I guess it is logical that it could casue rust.

Well, now they're using 10% ethanol and we'll see if that is better or worse in storage.
