I have some old fuel (approx 1 x litre) in a can.
To avoid the hassle of going to a recycle place would I be ok to shove
it my petrol car when I have a full tank.
The litre is possibly 2 stroke mix as it has a reddish tinge, its
leftovers from a small generator.

I'd prefer to feed it to a lawnmower or such rather than my car.

+1 fwiw


Neighbour has just spent 3 hours trying to start his petrol
lawnmower (4-stroke briggs & stratton) after he forgot to
drain out the tank last autumn.


I have *never* drained the fuel from my B&S lawnmower at the end of the
season and it has always started in the spring with a couple of extra
pulls. Been doing this for at least 20 years now.

Likewise. Chainsaws can need a carb clean but not always.
