The ethanol is the gas attracts moisture, over a duration of time this moisture can lead to a substantial amount of water in the tank. Make sure the tank if full when you store the mower for the winter and you will eliminate this problem. Be sure and add a fuel stabilizer when storing for over 1 month.

Why won't a lawnmower start after it runs out of gas and is refilled?

How do i fix a lawnmower that has water in the gas tank?
Drain all of the gasoline from the fuel tank and replace it with fresh stuff. Then replace the spark plug, which will be no good anymore. After repriming the fuel lines, it should work fine. You can verify that you have water in your fuel tank by pouring some into a translucent container and letting it sit for a few minutes. There will be two layers if you have water mixed in with your gasoline. The gas will float to the top and the water will settle to the bottom. To avoid this problem in the future, always fill the gas tank and gas can after each use and keep the gas can off the ground. Inexpensive gas can also be contaminated with water. What usually happens is that warm air enters the fuel can and when the air cools (at night, for instance), the water vapor from the air condenses out in the fuel tank or gas can. This is more of a problem on humid days.
