I got about three gallons of mixed gas and oil in my boat tank. It is old.
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.

A) wait till winter/wetter weather. Burn all you want, then. (I
used to dispose of used oil starting bonfires on the beach.)

B) see if your locality has a "hazmat disposal day" for such
things.

C) put it in an open bucket and let it evaporate.

D) "oil" your driveway, Or boat shed. Use it to kill weeds.

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.

Well then, is there any rush? I'd get a separate gas can or drum to
keep it isolated in, and do the mix-in method on one of the gasoline
engine devices in Very Small Quantities because of the added oil, say
under 5% at a time.

And run it through a ultra-fine fuel filter water separator cartridge
filter first. The kind you use on boats. Not cheap, but you can keep
using it for several years, put it on the Transfer Pump outlet.

You can also bend and weld up a 4X4 burn pan out of 1/8" Plate and
invite the neighbors over to practice Fire Extinguisher techniques.

There is nothing that builds confidence more than actually doing it -
then they'll know what to expect when the real thing happens, rather
than just run away and watch the house burn down.

Be sure to have them bring whatever they have around the house to the
practice round. Someone will bring a few crappy Plastic Head Kidde's,
I'm sure you'll try to blow them off and find at least one dud that
doesn't work in the pile. Let that be a lesson that you can't buy
crap if it has to work in an emergency.

Get a pile of business cards from a local Extinguisher Shop, and work
out a nice price for Amerex 417's (or other quality units) for cars,
and 500's or bigger for house and garage.

$35 2.5# extinguisher, $20,000 car - a few $40 5# extinguishers, a $1M
house - both seem like a no-brainer to me...

And when everyone's had their turn and there's still gasoline left...

Donate it to a friend, who's got an older gasoline vehicle.

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.

We have had a bad spate of wildfires here in Utah, one very near my house.
I doubt that any open burning would be welcomed. I was being very careful
yesterday when I did a smoked turkey and pork shoulder roast, expecting the
local Brown Shirts to report me. But all went well. I doubt that we will
be allowed to open burn before September, maybe October.

Any parts you want to wash - back in my Air Force days we used to wash
oil stained coveralls in 115/145 and hang them to dry on the propeller
blades.

Got them really clean too, but we stopped after one of the crew got
some sort of virulent crotch rot and the Medics told us that some
people are allergic to avgas :-(

THe local tractor and mower shop states that we should use
Premium gas in the mowers (riding and 54" ...) other tractors
due to the junk and trash and OH corn stuff and whatnot in
the lower two grades.

The Alcohol absorbs moisture and will pit out fuel systems in
various trimmer / saw / small engines.

Since when? Gasoline has been used to wash parts for generations.

The stuff sold today as "gasoline" is NOT the same stuff used for
generations.

It greatly accelerates rubber deterioration as well.

Avoid "E" anything fuels at all costs... but sadly, you probably don't
have a choice anymore.
