What Do You Do With Leftover Gas/Oil Mix

[Tom Ludolff]

I'm trying to figure out what to do with last season's gas/oil mix. I probably have abou 4-5 gallons between my gas can and in my bikes. I want to start with all fresh stuff when it warms up enough to ride. But what do you do with the old leftover stuff??? Flush it down the toilet??? Dump it in the driveway??? Any suggestions??? What do you all do with your old gas/oil??????

:think:

More "fuel" for the envrio-nuts.

Take it to your local oil change place, they can dispose of it for you. If the fuel is not yet mixed just put it in the toy hauler, depending on how long it's been sitting of course.

I actually put yamalube 32-1 mix in my 4-stroke lawn mower in a pinch, and it ran like new, 1 pull of the rope. Using it as a degreaser the next time you clean your kips is your best bet.

I put mine in my lawn mower/weed wacker/snow blower. And if i have any more, I go fill up my piece of crap ranger truck with a 302 in it with good fresh gas then i pour what little 2-stroke gas in there and its gone. It doesnt harm my 302 if there is just a little 2 stroke gas mixed with alot of regular gas. But however if you dont mix alot of reg. gas with it,, it smokes alittle. Also i have friends that have lawn mowers and a friend down the road with a snow blower. So i put the bad gas in my reserved "Bad gas-gas can" and take it over to his house and leave it for awhile and then he brings it back empty. I like!!!

Whatever you do don't flush in down the toilet, especially if you have a septic
system. Also don't pour it anywhere outside, gasoline contains MbTe which
pollutes the water table. Gasoline is very dangerous to use as a degreaser
because of the high flash point.

I simply put a gallon at a time in the tank of my 2001 F-150 when it has
a full tank. Shouldn't be a problem with 24 gallons of straight gas. You
also get a reminder of riding the 2-stroke every time you stop at the
7-Eleven!

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!!! Between the lawnmower, weedeater, Jeep, quad, and giving some to my father-in-law, I should be able to get rid of it.

Excellent my friend!!! ;)

If you want a new vehicle and your spouse won't let you have it, put it in your vehicle and let her see how bad it's smoking. Certainly, she'll let you buy another vehicle before you're stranded (and if you try this, let me know if it worked????)

I never thought of putting my aged fuel mix in the 4 stroke Quad. Excellent idea! It will help lube the top kind of like Marvel Mystery Oil!

WITH GAS PRICES THE WAY THEY ARE NOW, FIND SOME USE FOR IT. THE WAY MY OLD DODGE POWER WAGON FULL TIME 4WD LIKES GAS I WOULDNT HESITATE A SECOND TO RUN IT IN THERE..HAVE A WELL LUBED EXHAUST SYSTEM TOO....

Good on you for not polluting the environment.
I throw mine in the car's gas tank. Good xtra lube.
Make sure its not a diesel.

Weather your on your bike or in your car, you can still smoke the competition... LOL!!!!! :)

And the little oil spots on the back window wash off easily!

I run it in my cars. I cannot imagine 4 ounces of oil in a 30 gallon truck tank to be a problem.

Years ago a local 7/11 had problems with a fuel tank. The gasoline made it into the sewer. One poor guy almost burned his ass off. He was smoking while leaving a deposit.

Very scary day...

I have not had to by gas for my lawn mower, weedeater, blower for 3 yrs now...just makes the 4 cycle mower smoke a bit.
