no there's nothing hard about it...and I have always done it too. There are people saying that it can't seperate and my point was that if that is true then why do saw instructions tell you to shake it before every refueling Robb
I always try to encourage any novice lady cutters out there to shake their jugs before refueling. It is a good habit to get in to.

In the early 80's I raced enduro's in Michigan. I was experimenting with Avgas and different oils. I dont know what caused it but I mixed some fuel up. I pretty sure it was Castor Oil and Avgas. I dumped it into bike and seized it up lightly when I took it down the trail to warm it up before the race. I didn't know what was wrong. I took carb apart and found straight oil in the bowl. Did not even mix. I drained it out. Took cylinder off. Freed up rings, and borrowed some gas and made the run. Stuck with Sunoco gas after that and never had another problem. Dont know! I blamed it on the AVGAS!Back in the early 80s a guy brought in a Suzuki RM125, it would start and idle but would die if you gave it any throttle at all. I told him it sounded like he had water in his carb which I've seen a thousand times... only it was'nt water, it was a glob of BelRay MC-1 oil that had seperated from the gas, when you hit the throttle it sucked the glob of oil up against the main jet and died.
In the thousands of dirt bikes I've worked on over the years this is the one and only time I've seen oil seperate and I'm not sure what caused it.

i think your refrigerator freezer only gets down around 20. you might put a thermomiter in there and find out
You're comparing apples to watermelons.
