I've had my auger laying gas tank up, carb down all winter in my SUV with no problem. Neither the truck nor the auger have been used for a couple weeks. Today i noticed it had leaked out gas thru the carb. Should i have been storing it carb side up? Not sure why it leaked out today and not before. Maybe the temp rising? It sits outside and it was warm and sunny today. Befuddled and mechanically challenged!

I have noticed that my generaotr was leaking gas out of the cap and then that my gas cans in the garage were swelling up also. Thinking the rapid fluctuation in temp may have a play in it? I loosened the caps of both and released pressure and no more issues today. Maybe the fuel is expanding from setting in the sun and heating up quickly.
