Old Gasoline---------------

[LesH 1]

I found out what was wrong with my tractor-- it had water in the gasoline-- drained/ cleaned carb and now she runs fine. had this happen on a few tractors. Well, now I have about 4 gallons of gaswater... What is the best way safely to dispose of it, being environmentally safe?? I cannot have any fires in my back yard....

At our local dump, we have a household hazardous waste collection area. I would bring it there. For very small amounts (less than a cup), I will toss it on my gravel driveway and stand way far away!! and toss a match on it. jh

If it's not a lot, I pour it into the tank of my 91 Dakota, and then fill it up with good stuff. 4 gallons might be a lot at one time. Try maybe a gallon, and then pour in some gas anti freeze.

Let it settle a day or so . Carefully pour off the top portion. Add a little dry gas to that . Let it settle and pour off again. Use the good gasoline you get. Dispose of the mostly left over water as you like. The driveway inferno sounds good to me.

Save it til it gets cold outside, then pour the gas off the ice, add some heet to it and use the gas.

I decant the wet gas with an old 1 gallon wine jug. Let's you see the water easily so you don't pour it off with the good gas. I put a half gallon or so in an almost full tank of gas in my truck. Haven't had any problems. The contaminated water I pour into a 2 ft square shallow pan and let it evaporate; not so good for the air quality, but better than dumping it on the ground.
