Got the last couple gallons out. Mostly water.

It might be worth sacrificing a few gallons of fresh gas to dilute and
flush out any remaining water. Suck that out and recycle it too.
It's a shame you can't find something to do with that gas.


I got a hose into th corner of the tank. Boat is tipped up and at an
angle. Pumped water for a long while and then gas. So I think it got
almost if not all the water out. Only about 30gallons in the drum, so I
may let it sit for a few days and pump,some off the top, and add a little
to the cars once in a while. Local hazardous waste facility only takes it
in 5 gallon containers or 50# max. They will return containers, So
maybe a couple trips. Or a large bonfire.
It is a joke Don.

Sounds like a plan.

Maybe invite the neighbors for a hot dog roast when you have the bonfire?
(Another joke, Don!)

Reminds me of an incident as a kid. My grandfather told me to gather and
burn a pile of brush in the
orchard. As a 10-year old, I didn't know much about gas. So I got a
cupful from the gas tank and
threw it on the brush pile. I then lit a match and threw it on the pile
also. WHOOOOM! One loud
explosion which knocked me on my ass. Luckily no other injuries. Taught
me my lesson about using gas
to start a fire.


As a teenager we her bbq some burgers. Ran out of started fluid for the
charcoal and used gas. Worked great in starting the charcoal, but ruined
all the meat as it tasted of gasoline.

Lucky that's all it did.

Many years ago my father-in-law-to-be did the same thing using a glass
gallon jug of gasoline. The ensuing flame jumped back to the jug,
surprising FILTB, who dropped the jug, which of course shattered in
the driveway, creating the mother of all molotov cocktails right at
our feet. It was only by the grace of some unseen power that he and I
both escaped with our butts intact and unburned, and that his and his
neighbor's house escaped with only minor scorch marks.

I don't even remember how the hamburgers tasted.
