I have been reading a lot about how most of the problems people have with their chainsaws is they leave gas sit in them for too long before using. So here are my questions regarding gas. I will be using this gas in a Stihl MS025 and MS250.
1. How long is too long for the gas to sit in either the chainsaw or a plastic container?
2. How do you drain a chainsaw with old gas? Simply open the fill knob and turn it over then fill it back up? Or do you need to take the carb apart, etc...
3. What do you with this old gas? Can it safetly be used in something else or do you have to just throw it out?
4. Is there any additives which can be added to the gas to extend its storage life?
5. If the chainsaw is going to sit for several months without being used is it best to drain the gas tank?
Thanks everybody!!
