I think its the heat and sunlight thats the problem for fuel, I live in warm humid conditions so i have to keep my fuel in the closet.
cheers

I see you are from Michigan. You also don't want it to freeze either!

It won't freeze solid, but it will seperate the oil from the methanol.

I would say in a closet, basement, or laundry room.
