<VV> Old Gas

[Frank DuVal]

1. Take to dump if they have a household hazardous disposal day

2. use to clean parts with you using gloves, etc to protect you    OK, 
then you still need to get rid of it....🙁

3. blend 1 part to 20 like a half gallon (or less) to 10 gallons in your 
DAILY driver

4. If it is not going to rain you can try putting some in a metal wide 
bucket on a hot day to evaporate. But needs a cover to keep wildlife 
out. And don't drive over it.😂 And... fire safety, as the vapors will 
hang to the ground and travel a distance to a spark to ignite....  OK, 
skip this one. Or, know a tree pusher contractor that needs fuel to 
start the brush pile fire? They will use it. They mix diesel and gas for 
a quick start.


Do NOT put a lot into a vehicle at any time, as it is usually sticky 
(getting to the "shellac" stage) and sticks well to intake valve stems, 
sticking them in place. I learned this on my shop FC. Stuck three intake 
valves. They did free up with solvent and a hammer.
