Getting rid of old fuel

[cterrebonne]

i would say if your tank is around 30gals. drain out 6 gallons and fill the tank up with 93 octane

CTB, it's a 60 gallon tank, but you might be on to something here...

The lawnmower won't care if it's pre-mix or not, I run my old pre-mix through ours all the time. Just mix it half and half with fresh gas and go for it in the mowers. As for your car, I wouldn't. I've seen cat converters fail from the oil in it.

just use it in the mower i run 2 stroke in everything i have at the beach so that way i don't put the wrong fuel in a boat or jetski, the 2 stroke oil is good for the mowers valves anyway.

I have to do this to my boat too. I think I have only around 10 gallons. Do you think I can get by with pumping it out into containers using the primer bulb? Any other ideas?

go to the autopart store and score an elec fuel pump. i can get the facet # if you need it. then hook it up to 12volt and watch it purr. Also on the 2-stroke in the lawnmower, like said above it should work fine and if you are worried about carboning the engine up just score some engine tuner from brp and run some through the engine after all the fuel is used.

take the hose loose from the motor and prime till the fuel starts to flow then it will continue to flow as long as the end of the hose is kept below the tank level.

That's what I figured Skools, thanks!

It's almost that special time of the year to take in the sites and smells of steam engines and diesel fumes....you and the misses coming to the Thresher's Reunion this year brother?

I did that once and it works pretty good...
