re: winter storage

     Where will the gas evaporate to?  If the cylinder is closed (one 
     may be open to exh. and one to int., that leaves ten closed up), 
     where can it go except to condense?  But, in defense of Kirby's 
     idea, below, I'd guess that the presence of additional oily 
     substance would be a good thing for cylinders etc. during 
     storage.  Hmmmm, what about the injectors?  Will this gum them up 
     during storage?
