Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / June 2004old gas - new gas
I've got about 5 gallons of two year old gas I syphoned out of my boats inboard tank. Can I use this in my car without causing any damage? I was thinking of putting in about a gallon every time I filled up. With the price of gas now a days, if it is safe I would rather use it than give it to the recycle depot. >I've got about 5 gallons of two year old gas I syphoned out of my >boats inboard tank.

IMHO: Considering this will only save you few bucks, why not run it in something that's not so critical like a law mower. I'm assuming since you let an outboard sit for two years with gasoline in it, you put a stablizer, but it's still possible you have a little water and junk in from sitting in still for that long. Becareful, all that syphoing and fuel handling could be an extream fire hazard what is only no more than $12 bucks of gas. later, tom ***************** Check Us Out ***************** http://www.CarFleaMarket.com Bringing back low-cost online car ads to the web!

Use it for weed killer. Brian > I've got about 5 gallons of two year old gas I syphoned out of my > boats inboard tank.

Gasoline will kill more than the weeds, it will kill grass as well. It makes for a relatively inexpensive vegetation killer around walkways and driveways. mike hunt > Use it for weed killer. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > With the price of gas now a days, if it is safe I would rather use it > > than give it to the recycle depot. That's what I meant, use it in the gravel driveway. Brian > Gasoline will kill more than the weeds, it will kill grass > as well.

YEah. just imagine when some throws out a light cigarette and see how much it will kill. > Gasoline will kill more than the weeds, it will kill grass > as well.

I don't smoke. Brian > YEah. just imagine when some throws out a light cigarette and see how much > it will kill.

Even in the movies they use alcohol, not gasoline, to represent a gasoline fire in a car or a building. Gasoline vaporizes off too quickly. If the vapors are still present they will flash, not burn. mike hunt > YEah. just imagine when some throws out a light cigarette and see how much > it will kill.

Just my opinion... Just put it in the car. > I've got about 5 gallons of two year old gas I syphoned out of my > boats inboard tank.
