Due to problems with my kit-car and life in general, its been off the road for a while. At the same time, we have a Matiz that has also been off the
road for a couple of years. Both have suffered badly from stale fuel/moisture. I've finally got the kit-car running fine, by cleaning out the
system, emptying the tank and putting fresh fuel in - what came out looked awful.
The trouble is that I now have 25 litres of useless petrol and, potentially, another 25+ litres in the Matiz, that I need to get rid of.
The local tip will take it, but you have to leave it in the containers and I don't fancy having to throw away 3 off 20 litre jerry cans.
I thought of burning it in a petrol powered heater, but they're more expensive than 3 cans.
Any other ideas?
If you can get it to Stalybridge I can stick it in my waste oil tank.
I'm only about half-an-hour from Stalybridge, so I might take you up on that kind offer. I'll get back to you when I know where I am up to at this end.
I recently disposed of 2 gallons of dirty old petrol at my local Waste Recycling Centre.
They told me to add it to their waste oil tank - according to them it will be separated out during the conversion into heating oil.

I came by a lawn mower that hadn't run for a while. It had a full tank of petrol that smelt awful. I decided to burn it but couldn't get it
to light! New fuel sorted the mower and it went with a few litres of oil for recycling!

Anyone with an old diesel car will be able to mix it with diesel at.10-20% with no issues
