If this were used once and left to set for, say, a year, would it have lost its gas?

I have left it without using it for over 6 months and it has worked fine , that is, it did not seem to loose any Butane. We had a power outage and needed to use the cooker for several days and the can held up for 3 to 4 hours of cooking (on varied settings - high, low, medium etc.). It is warrantied for several years of shelf-life. I realize that this is not exactly what you asked but that's the best I've got. Hope it helps. For the record, I am very satisfied with the unit and would buy it again if the need arose.

Quite possible. For the safest & best storage you should remove the gas bottle after use & the unit has cooled. Then you don't have to worry about the bottle leaking. While attached. That's how we do it.

If you left the gas cartridge engaged (lever down) I wouldn't be surprised. I've found that the piece that actually forces the gas canister forward can bend causing the tank to not fully engage.

Depends how long it was running without water,it could build up some heat if the impeller is plastic it could be mishaped and not pump as good!

We have it in our MBR hooked into our natural gas connection that feeds our fireplace. It's been connected for one year with no issues other than the initial burn-off smell that only lasts a day or two.I highly recommend that you have your gas company hook it up. Ours did and they only charged us about $150 for the install of the unit and the hookup and parts. Better Safe than Sorry.

I have owned this machine for aprox 7 years without a problem but I always add a little fuel conditioner then let it run out gas do not leave fuel in your machine

The answer is no I believe due to the risk it would cause in shipping and bursting, etc. The gas easily picked up locally at most drug stores. Its a good product , used it to re-flow a graphics chip on a laptop that I use to this day but also comes in handy for shrink wrap , etc.

There is a built in measure on the bottle that is supposed to be good enough to stabilize 5-8 gallons. That will keep the gas stable for one year. You are then supposed to RE-treat the gas in subsequent years for up to a total of 5 years. They say on the bottle that if you add extra, it will not negatively impact the gas, but then you will run out of the Pri-G faster. Methinks it is best to use it as recommended on the bottle.

It is a fuel additive ,so if it is sealed tightly it should be good fo a fairly long time.Otherwise it will evaporate and not be any good.

We don't know we use gas and it works great. My husband tends to think it wouldn't.

Since unit evacuates the gas from under the floor 1 unit Sould do it but you need to retest

Technically no, it's listed as Green Gas only but I've used propane in it from day one. Nine months later not a single problem. Let it rip brother.

I guess I am late on a reply. But I have been using for a while and has been stored for 6 months without issues (moderate conditions). I wouldn't want to store fuel for longer than 10 months anyway. When I get that long something is wrong. (Just dump in car and buy more gas). But using this during the winter in NJ works great!

Only if you put a new one in each time you opened it. I can see where it may be benficial to put pet food in many jars (because with the uncertainties in our nation right now, we are 3 days from empty shelves at the grocery store) with an oxygen absorber in each one. This way you could maintain long-term emergency food for the animals as well as yourself. To all who read this, PLEASE have at least a year's food and water stored.

I have only used it once, but it was with gasoline. Worked fine, with no leaks nor deterioration of any components. Of course, it smelled of gas for a while.

It will empty part of the way the gravity feed isnt low enough to empty the entire contents. the fuel gauge is a little off from what I have seen, I have to add about 10 gallons before it will even reach empty.

No, it hasn't so far. I have an electric range so I don't know if gas would be different. It's heavy duty so I I don't think it would.

It would provided it didn't fall apart after a few uses. It truly turned out to be a piece of junk.

As long as you keep the cap on, it will evaporate on a much slower rate compared to a regular zippo. But don't assume that it will still be full if you filled it and left it there for a year or two.
