Chainsaw Storage Location Safe?

[WarmGuy]

Considering different places to store my chainsaw. Do you think that this location is too close to the propane furnace?

I can fill the love

Assuming you run the saw until it is out of fuel, I don't see a problem.

I don't like it. That furnace draws its combustion air from the room. I don't like the potential for vapors to be drawn into the cumbustion chamber. Chainsaws tend to have bar oil leak when not in use......

I'm sure you're fine, but I wouldn't store my saw there....

You could store it at my place... :cheese:

What he said why chance it.

Thanks, I agree. For now it will be on the shelf below my workbench.

There are times, when I'll be using it again soon, that it will have some gas in the tank. I'd prefer not to even have it in the garage at those times, but I don't have any other good options.

No.

I got one of those plastic carrying cases when I got my Stihl, in the case you could leave it in a snowbank.

Mine stays in the case out in the shed.

I'd actually like to keep the saws inside vs. outside. That said, this is a bit to close to a furnace for me. Place somewhere on the other side of the basement. Hope you can find a few other places in the area to keep the saws.

if you have to ask, it's probably not safe.

I could show you some pictures of house fires I have been to because they store gas cans and lawn mowers in their furnace rooms. Gas+flame=new house Move ASAP
