Lawn mower gas leak?

Have a Toro push mower. I keep it in one of those rubbermaid shed storages. I fill the mower up, cut my grass, then store it until next week. My yard isn't big. Usually takes me between 45 minutes-1hour to cut the yard. Next time I go to cut the grass there is no gas. Do you think I have a leak or is it getting too hot in the shed and evaporating?

I'd say leaking then evaporating. Check the floor in the shed early in the morning before things get too hot and see if there's gas leaking.

Could be a combination. I know it takes me (well not really me since my son has grass cutting duties now 
) about an hour to do the yard and sometimes it will come close to draining a tank. Like earlier poster said, check it early or look for any staining. How old is said mower?

Ethanol is probably eating up the gas lines and causing the leaks and then evaporating. Had a blower and power-head that had lines that crumbled from the ethanol. Change lines then seafoam your gas and mower.
I ran my POS pushmower for the first time in over a year the other day. Put a good dose of seafoam in there and cranked on the first pull. Seaform is a gift from above

Did you maybe use all of the gas cutting your grass?
Fill it up and put a trash bag underneath it. If it leaks, you'll see the gas on the bag

Float sticking open letting gas leak into the cylinder? Smell the oil and see if it smells gassy.
