Year old petrol already mixed with oil.

It's not the price i have a problem with. It's how to safely dispose of it. Checked the local councils website regarding hazardous waste etc.. and no mention of petrol.

Donate it to a neighbour or someone with a petrol lawnmower, sure a local gardener will take it of your hands if its free....

long as you give it a good shake and the container is sealed well it will be fine to use.

 

some of the fuel it got is 2 years old now but the cars run fineon it.

 

Container is sealed but how well I'm not sure as it's one of those white ones where you put petrol in and top it off with oil and the rest of the petrol is in a green 5 litre container.

Just dump the stuff in a hole kid, you'll never no it was put there, go fill up with nice fresh petrol,

old fuel will make it run like a pig, its bad enough without oil in it, the spark will be well gone,

I didn't want to throw the fuel away as I'd feel bad about it and couldn't find anywhere that would take it so I just used the entire full bottle of pre-mixed petrol and oil that I had from a year ago and the Blackout ran well with it. All I have left now is just petrol in a green can from a year ago also.

Will do, need to take then engine out first, damn thing is leaking, think the gaskets are gone. Also truck decided to go front wheel drive only for the last 20 minutes so gotta rip the gear box apart too.
