    If you're dumping it, i'll take it. I'll just add it a couple of litres to a tank at a time

    Add 20L of old engine oil and chuck it in a choofer!!

    Or do as I do and use it to soak wet wood for the best firelighters ever!

    Cheers

    Hmm, I'm in Sydney tonight and tomorrow, I wont even charge you when I take it
    As others have suggested. It will be fine in a older diesel. Is what I'd use it for

    Mate don't give it away, just use it!

    If your worried uses it over a couple of refills.

    I worked at a servo for a while......all the drained fuel (from diesel cars that had a tank full of petrol) went straight back into the diesel tanks.

    It has been known that sellers of trucks put a bit of petrol in the diesel tank to give the truck a bit more apparent go. Gives a bit more of a bark to the exhaust too.

    Just think how much money you will save by using it Leyland: $60. I wouldn't take the risk for $60, no matter how small.
