Default Is this compressor worth anything?

I wasn't commenting wrt waste/spillage/world economic or ecological
collapse.. but gasoline is a dangerous cleaning solvent.. and there isn't a
practical reason for using it to clean parts.

The possibility of giving readers the impression that gasoline can be used
casually for other purposes is irresponsible.. and wouldn't imply that you
were being thrifty or clever.

Nice save/bargain for Gerry, except for the gasoline used as cleaning
solvent, which ain't very smart.



Over a winter, I will spill more filling my snow blower than I used to
clean that compressor. Which would you rather see spilled, gasoline or
paint thinner? besides, whatever is left goes into the used oil jug,
then to the hazardous waste facility along with the contents of
juniors bike which hadn't run in ten years.
