The dual stick 1450 and Bolens push mower & an empty Echo chainsaw are stored inside. The single stick 1450 is sold and parked outside. Sorry I forgot to say what power equipment was inside.

Odds are something is leaking on your 1450. It doesn't take much of a leak to have a gas smell. Besides the gas gauge several places to look is the rubber groment where the fuel shut off valve goes into the tank, shut off valve itself, fuel line and float in carb.
I never heard of a gas gauge that shouldn't be used with E-10. I'd find me a different parts supplier.
