Use It or Lose It

I figure I've got 200 gals of good gasoline in this tank, mine as well use it before I can't. It's been powering the wife's rig as well as mine for a month and a half now, it's great to have the boat give something back every once in a while. Wow, some kind of return on investment. Using one of the boat's fuel pumps through a racor filter set up on a plywood "fueling station", it's been great while it lasts.

Rocky, your lucky you can use the fuel. Mine was laced with Ethanol and Fiberglass Resin. I finally found someone who wanted it and I was happy to give away 100+ gallons of fresh 93 Octane fuel... I did tell him about the ethanol and resin too...he didn't care so neither did I.

Carl,

I've got the same situation with the gas in my tank.
Would your guy like some more for the taking?
Boat is located in Freeport LI.

Harv,
I'm supposed to see him tomorrow... I'll ask.
How much fuel do you have?
Carl

Yes I'm using this fuel out of my Alex Whitaker tank, brand new Ethonal proof. Otherwise I'd be stuck with it and would have to "dispose" of it somehow. It would be a great fantastic ball of flame somewere remote and far away! A great campfire starter "somewhere" I know of. (Not in the summertime of course). Call it a Texas style campfire! SHHHHH. On second thought, perhaps two hunndred gallons is a bit much at one time.

Randall and I tried to get rid of Ethanol laced fuel legally and couldn't.

Bob, no offence to them but what a great idea! Sure would save us some govt. spending. Make sure that truck is full of em first. That composition sounds like it closely resembles Napalm incendiary somethin or other.
Walter if Hazmat won't make it easy for you to do it right, are they saying in an indirect way go ahead and put it into the ground for fifty years? Just saying.

yep thats napalm. please don`t put it in the ground we have already done our best to destroy the earth`s groundwater . find a transmission shop and ask what company they deal with to get rid of the trans. fluid, also junk yards well now called auto dimantle yard have to remove gas from tanks on a regular basis .go to the yard and ask one of the working man then go inside and tell them what you have.
