Ethanol ate my boat motor too

Stuff that's older than 30 days I just dump out down the street on a vacant lot. Better: Dump your excess gasoline in a storm drain. Wait about 30 minutes. Throw a match in the drain. Watch as manhole covers for two blocks are blown into the air. Marvel at the stuff that is actually blown OUT of the storm drains. See motorists drive up on lawns and crash into houses. Chuckle as everyone runs outside screaming "WTF was that?!!" Watch the TV news helicopters collide as every station in town tries to cover the terrorist attack! Sell coffee and soda at your ad hoc stand to the hundreds of police, firefighters, FBI, ATF, and Homeland Security personnel that shortly congregate. It will liven up your day. And into the night. |

But seriously, the E10 gasoline absorbs water and thus deteriorates in as little as 30 days and there really is no practical way to dispose of it. All the small engine manufactures advise not to use old ethanol fuel. While the fuel preservative products claim to prevent corrosion damage, they don't stop water absorption and the dreaded phase change. I don't like doing it but I dump old ethanol fuel out on the ground as well. ( I've got municipal water so I don't have to worry about water well contamination. ) And as HeyBub pointed out, dumping gas down the sewer would be extremely deadly. I can no longer buy ethanol-free gasoline. You got a better way to dispose of the government mandated ethanol fuel when it goes bad? |

Shake and let sit Drain the water and ethanol off the bottom and you have ethanol-free gasoline. |
