where to dump old fuel?

Post by itiger »

The fuel has been in the tank for quite a while and I am thinking to dump it and refill the tank with some fresh fuel. Where should I go to dump it? thanks.

2 gals can just be poured into your vehical, just make sure you have around 3/4 of a tank to mix it with "it don't matter if it has oil in it, with that small amount" :beer:

A better solution would be to go fish it up.

What JT said. Put fresh fuel on top of it with a good fuel treatment(Yamalube fuel treatment, Stabil Marine, Startron, etc...) and fish it up. It makes for a very good excuse to get out on the water.------Honey, I have this fuel that is about to go bad. I need to get out this weekend with my best fishin buddy and use it up before it spoils.------
