I've got some old fuel that I don't want to use in the car. Any ideas on the best way to get rid of it?

Thanks

Not got a petrol mower or a bbq. Have got a parafin flame gun I use for weeding but think it might be a bit dangerous :)

My local tip has a tank for hazardous chemicals, might be worth seeing if you're tips got one.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

sounds like multi purpose, degreaser, fire lighter stuff to me. Mix a little bit in each time you fill the tank. A litre each time won't hurt it to much in a daily driver.

I did drink some once. Using a tube to drain the tank on my pickup I sucked too hard, got a mouthful and swallowed.

Not recommended, I was burping the fumes for days
