I always shut the gas off when I park my tractor in my garage. Why? Because the risk of ten gallons of gas on the floor is not worth the risk of dumping it on the ground. Unlike a car, with a fuel pump, my tractor is a gravity fed system. If the float bowl leaks, the gas pours into the air cleaner, or into the carnkcase, well, that is a problem. Plus if ten gallons of gas gets into my groundwater, I would consider that a problem too. As an owner of many vintage motorcycles over the years, with similar float sytems, trusting them is a mistake. I agree, if you own a tractor with a leaky fuel bowl, you are a fool if you don't fix it. My stuff I keep in tip top shape. One other good reason to shut off the gas....I once had a tracor "borrowed" for about 60 feet. Luckily they didn't know why she quit. Hope I didn't put the jinx on you. LOL Take Care Steve
