Hi Steve
If the unit is to be used every few days, draining the fuel is not required.
However, as the ethanol in today's gasoline will attract moisture from the air, that condition can be harmful the the fuel lines and the carburetor components.
For long-term storage of the unit, the tank should be emptied and the unit started and run until all of the fuel in the fuel lines and carburetor has been exhausted.
We also recommend not storing fuel for more that 30 days due to that same problem.
For more information on the effects of Ethanol, you can review the Ethanol link on the Customer Support link on the website.
