Yes, it can cause damage from moisture / water condensing in the tank . If you are going to leave fuel in any tank or can for extended time add some fuel stabilizer to it to prevent this and keep the fuel fresh. A common brand is sold at most stores that have an automotive dept. Just ask a clerk.

Is letting fuel sit in the tank over winter bad for a gas edge trimmer and what should you do?
Leaving fuel in the gas tank of lawn mowers or edge trimmers is not a good idea. Stale fuel can form a varnish-like residue in the fuel tank, fuel line, and carburator. To prevent this, either run the machine until the gas tank is empty or simply empty the fuel tank before storing the trimmer for the winter. If you have left fuel in the tank over the winter, it would be best to drain it from the fuel tank and add fresh fuel before using the trimmer. Also, a small container of fuel stabilizer, available at any home improvement or lawn care center, can be added to your gasoline can to keep it from getting stale during the season.
Is it a good idea to use fuel conditioner to a motorcycle when laid up over the winter?
The best way to store a motorcycle for several months is to add a fuel stabilizer to a full tank of fuel. Then run the engine a few minutes so the stabilizer gets circulated. Change the oil and filter and flush and refill coolant if equipped. It's also best to check any other fluids such as gear oils or primary lube. (if it has a separate primary)
Will a Honda vtx1300 gas tank rust on the inside if dented?
The tank may rust over long periods where it is not covered by fuel, especially over the winter period where the changes in temperature causes condensation inside the tank, depending where the dent is try and keep it topped up with fuel covering the dent - it is always wise to fill a tank to the brim when storing over winter, if you use it over the winter months then there shouldn't be a problem.

Why isn't The carburetor in my riding lawnmower getting gas?
Sometimes a needle and seat will stick "closed", especially if the fuel was not drained over winter. There can also be sediment in the tank or fuel line which prevents fuel from flowing.
How do you bleed off the fuel line in a cavalier?

Why does your motorcycle smoke when you start it?
Is your bike fuel injected, or more likely, does it have a carburetor? If it has a carb, are you turning the fuel off when you are not riding? If you're leaving it on, your carb could fill up with fuel while sitting, and then blow it out when you start. The same thing happens when I over-prime my lawn-mower.

How do you winter over iris?
Iris is a perennial so it will winter over.
I got carbohydrates cleaned last summer bike sat 3 months w gas in it over winter I got it out drove 2 days Idles then dies now Do you think carbohydrates need cleaned again?
Yep. When you put the bike in storage for the winter you need to add a fuel stabilizer additive to the fuel tank, run the engine for awhile then close fuel valve and let the engine run out of fuel. Now the fuel in the tank is treated for storage and the carbs are empty of fuel.
