Propane stored for long periods is the same as when it was put into the 
storage tank. Gasoline, on the other hand, especially today's gasoline, 
deteriorates and gets nasty very quickly.

I empty the fuel tanks on my mower, chain saw, and trimmers about once 
a month if I haven't emptied them in use. (Hmm, does that sentence make 
any sense? Anyway, I try not to let the gas get old.)

I empty the Propane tank every Winter unless we're down in the desert.
