Disposing of gas/oil mix

[rbandsasha]

How do you guys dispose of your old gas/oil mix? It was mixed earlier in the winter so it is not that old and is mixed with Opti-2 oil. Also how long until you consider your gas/oil mix old? I have not used Seafoam in the past but after reading a number of other posts, I am probably going to use it in the future.

Thanks

Pour it into your car/truck gas tank, and then fill your tank.

I like to only keep gas in the small can for a few months, but treating it with sea foam will help.

[BartmanMN]

Most service/gas stations will let you dispose of it there.

rbandsasha,welcome to fishingminnesota.com.

I have to go with Skeets on this one.I have also added it to a car/truck and then filled up the vehicle tanks to full.Otherwise, I have burned up small amounts at a time in the fire pit with brush,etc. That may not be an option for most folks,however.

mixing in a vehicle gas tank won't cause any issues with that engine?

No, none what so ever.

I have been doing this for 20 years.

I have a storm sewer drain right in front of my garage...I usually just dump my left overs down there. Is this wrong???

just kidding

I makes a good weed killer too . All kidding aside, I've added small amounts to my vehicle tanks and just used it that way as others have stated.

As mentioned above, you can pour the fuel into your vehicle or bring it to a service station/repair shop. They have recycling containers for recycling fuel. I dispose of the fuel if it is over 2 months old (use high octane non-oxygenated gas). Most of the oil mixes have conditioners in them but I still add a bit of Seafoam to my auger, sleds, and lawnmower.

tisosy11 Boy am I glad you put just kidding on your reply, I bet that would have got a lot of nasty replys

Just a note on the side... I had my lower unit go out on my boat and didn't fix it for 2 1/2 years. It had 24 gallons of fuel in one of the tanks and the mechanic told me it would be fine to burn it, so I did and it ran fine all summer. Not even a hickup! Explain that one!

Opti-2 has a stabalizer in it - I am new to it but plan on keeping it all summer.

Welcome to Fishing Minnesota

I normally just run what I have left over in my lawn tractor but it is only mixed 100:1 and usually has seafoam in it.

I burn all the old auger/lawnmower/chainsaw gas in my truck,,,never had a problem.

Or I give it to my brother in law to start his charcoal grill

Kidding............on the grill thing anyway!

Since I never went to boy scouts, I just throw it on my fire pit before I start it up...No Mess, No Fuss.

i save mine and use it for parts cleaner

I mix it with new gas for the lawnmower.
