^^^this, I had to replace my walbro because it died on me after about 2 months of use and this is why. I replaced it and never let it fall below half a tank and have yet to have a problem. Oh btw it came in a clear plastic bag. First one was shipped to me and that's how it came and second one I picked up at a local shop and it was also in a plastic bag.
