Hi all, wasnt sure where to put this post but i seen alot of you are from washington state as i am, the question today is does anyone know where or who to call to take to old fuel the boat is full and the fuel is about 3years old and i believe its why my volvo AQ120B wont idle and its the last thing to try as ive done eveything you all have said to try lol my greed of a full tank has got me stuck in the drive way:redface: lol
sooooo if any of my fellow washintonians know where to go or call many thanks!!

Re: old fuel

Get all your friends together with their mowers, chainsaws and what not and pump it out into them. They will probably be glad to give you a few bucks for it.

to take to old fuel the boat is full

Ayuh,... Have you Checked it,..?? Does it pass the Smell Test,...
If it Smells like Gasoline,... I'd burn it....
Just keep a spare Filter around...

I don't know about in vancouver but METRO runs two recycling stations in Portland that would take the fuel...I think.
