Supragal Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 OK, old fuel is now drained from the Supe... but what do I do with it? I know household waste will take old oil do they take petrol too anyone know? I was thinking about using it in the Rover, is there any way of telling if it's useable for that ie still fresh enough?

Supragal Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 I would put it in your rover. How can I tell it won't break that too? If indeed that is the problem with el Supe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_SWZ Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Blimey LOL if it looks clean its fine but if its gone sludgy just leave it in an open container and most should evaporate away pretty quickly. You could just keep it and use it for starting BBq's etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Err theres like 4 canisters full of it... not sure I've got anywhere where I can just leave it to evaporate! no sludge visible but I'm pretty sure the pump and filter will be gummed up with it.

grahamc Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 have a bbq and invite everyone round... well about 5 - 10 small bbqs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_SWZ Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Then just take it to ur local garage and ask them to get rid of it for you. They will have a tank somewhere for old oil and fuel etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 could try that if I can find a friendly local garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Did you know that petrol has more explosive potential than dynamite? I don't know why that's relevent, but I just thought I'd mention it. Probably not a good idea to leave it lying around in the garage though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
