As part of the ongoing clear up I have a small amount of petrol in a green

I've just looked up the details of how to dispose of it and it seems to be
classes as a "hazardous waste" which is not handled by the local recycling
centre.

Just put it in your car and add 50 liters of new fuel.


If he has got a modern diesel car what would be the safe ratio to mix
it with? We don't know what the small amount is .

I wouldnt mix petrol in diesel in any modern diesel car. Just not worth
the risk.

Surely must know someone with a petrol lawnmower?
