OLD! I need to dispose of it. Any suggestions? I can't burn it
slowly in
a gas engine, as I have a diesel, and SWMBO has a TBird that takes
high
octane gas. All my other gas engines would take forever to burn
three
gallons. Where can I dispose of it? Maybe build a burner, and just
let it
burn for a few days? In my neck of the woods, burning is banned
because of
recent multi million dollar wildfires.

Here, we have "household hazardous waste facility" to handle stuff
like this for residents of the city. They figure it is better this way
than have people use their own methods.

Good suggestion.

Having said that, personally I wouldn't hesitate to add a gallon at a
time into the ford product (only add to nearly full tankfuls [1]) . But
thats just me; YMMV.


I burn all old gas in my pick-up truck. I add it to new fuel, I try
not to make it more than 30% of the mix.

This is mixed outboard fuel. Oil and gas mixed.

Steve

How much oil? At the usual 50::1 it will amount to less then a cup of
oil. It will burn and 3 gallons in a full tank of "new gas" won't even
be noticeable. I used to get rid of old outboard gas that way and
couldn't tell the difference between a few gallons of outboard gas in
a full tank and a tank full without the outboard gas.

It looked fine to me, but smelled "varnishy". So, I just put it in a
shallow pan out in the lower forty, and left it there.

Steve

That will get rid of it.

If you hadn't dumped the oil in it you could have used it to wash
parts :-)
Cheers,
