I have a Toro trimmer 51946. I have replaced the carburetor as well as well as the fuel filter and all of the gas lines. This seems to be kind of a weird question but when I am done using the unit, I hang it up on the wall(as pictured). The problem that I am having is when I hang the unit on the wall as pictured after use, and I go to use the unit the next time, the unit has leaked all of the gas out.

If I leave the unit on a flat surface after using it, no gas leaks out.

The gas cap is tight and it appears that all of the hoses are seated fully and all of the way on the nipples.

Does anyone have any idea as to what check to solve this issue? Thanks.

The fuel tanks on most hand held devices are pressurised with the fuel cap vent regulating it .
If your shed gets really hot and the tank vent is not working then the fuel can either leak out via the carburettor or around the holes where the fuel lines pass through
Loosen the fuel cap slightly before you hang it up
A new fuel cap might also help
