What to do with crap fuel?

Re: What to do with crap fuel?

Thats alot of gas to just toss .I definatly wouldnt mix it w/ other gas to make it good but you could try this. mix stabil into it to stabilize what you have and then mix in the proper amount of dri gas to take any water out and also mix in octane booster to bring it up to snuff

I already added Stabil when I was trying to get it to burn in the boat. It still does have some burn-ability. There is no water. I confirmed this with Kolor Kut.

The gas will run the boat at idle/low speed, but when I run it on plane, it dies pretty quick. If I wait, it'll start back up, but only run for a few minutes (at best). Yesterday I ran her on a topside fuel tank with fresh non-E10 gas, and she ran without a hiccup until I used up the 5 gals. I then switched back to the main tank, and limped home.

Re: What to do with crap fuel?

basically there is 3 options.

1. pay for dispoals
2. Creatively burn the hell out of it.
3. Find another motor to mix it 75% good 25% bad with.

I would use option 2. But that's just me.

That sounds pretty fun

But if you had a solvent tank it would probably work well for that.

Re: What to do with crap fuel?

I bought a boat a cpl years ago that sat on davits for 3 years and had ~25 gallons of old gas to get rid of. Local waste management (dump) took it and burned it in the incinerator, they even loaned me a pile of 5 gallon cans. No way I would risk burning (even diluted) in anything I cared about.
