[QUOTE="CarlF, post: 98859, member: 1159"] I keep it open with a plastic bowl over the cap to keep rain off. I learned the hard way too: Closed it one day on the way home from the bay because it was raining. Forgot to open it up. The next day, it wsa 95 degrees. By time I got home from work, the tank was rigid and the pressure had forced over 2 gallons of gas around the carb cover gasket and through the carb, into the cylindars & out the exhaust. Big puddle of gas soaked dirt under the prop. Luckily it did not damage the carb or fuel pump. [/QUOTE]
