Hi guys,

Any idea where to dispose old gasoline (lawn mower) properly?

Thanks

bonfire.

edit: nm, probably not allowed in amherst.

The gas is probably almost 5 years old. I don’t think it’s a good idea to put it back into my car.

Try it in a friends car.

^ I was thinking about that too. lol.

Maybe I should bring it to the junk yard and dump it in one of their cars…but wait…they probably removed the gas out of those junked cars too.

Any ideas?

old gasoline turns into varnish… so anything you feel like running on varnish … go for it. If it’s that big of a deal you can dump it in my waste oils drum. I have a gallon of old gas/varnish around for starting fires :shrug:

Down the drain
behind your garage
in a storm drain
in the street

just don’t let anyone see you

think there was someone on here that used to take it all, because he had to burn his own poo.
don’t recall the name/thread.

That sounds like a good idea. I will PM you. Thanks.

I recently drained my cars full but 3 year old tank of gas and put it in my lawnmower. Surprisingly the ethanol stayed in composition with the rest of the fuel quite well, and still smelled relatively fresh. I still wouldnt use it in anything you cared ALOT about (IE, new lawn tractor or another car) but for my beat up lawnmower it worked good, no issues

DO your neighbors have a pool?

it’s just a lawn mower, how much can it be? just dump it anywhere seriously. probably thousands of gallons of gas are being leak out from vehicles every second. methods like jam mentioned.

I hear if you bring it to wegmans they’ll give you a free keg

This.

Water your neighbors lawn.
