Thread: So now what do I do with it

If its an older mechanical injection non ECU etc diesel engine, 5l of petro-diesel mix per tank won't harm it. It'd only be ~3% petrol then.

If you have somewhere safe leave the cans out with the closures loose for a few sunny days, the petrol will evaporate its lightest fractions quite quickly and the rest can be fed into an older diesel a few litres at a time.

If you have a local rural fire brigade, offer it to them.

They use a mix of 20% petrol/80%diesel (or 10%petrol/90%diesel) as drip torch fuel for doing burn-offs when clearing the undergrowth on safe days, or back-burns when fighting a bigger fire.

They will have to add more diesel to get what they want, but they can use it.

Toss 10 litres of K-mart lube oil in and just use it as normal distillate.

I think since the last spate of major bushfires petrol is now banned in the firelighters.

I'm pretty sure they were still running that mix for the extinguisher training just the other day.
