Hey Jorges...

I personally prefer to leave them in oil... you never know when you may 
get the urge to run longer than a minute....
and I suppose eventually the paper will dry out and may become a source 
of arc material....
maybe you can find a small Ice Chest that will hold the piggie...

whats the sence of owning a Ferrari or Lamborghini if you only plan to 
drive it at a maximum of 55MPH??? :)~
