    Cool - let me know when you’re free and I’ll see if the other option pans out too. Sort of first in, best dressed as I need to get it gone so I can get the RRC back on the road.How to get rid of old petrol?

    The guys who collect waste oil will take it BUT it can be expensive . You could try ringing one of the fuel Co's & ask.

    Gotta watch that stale fuel because it can also stuff the tank and other components.
    I have seen a fuel tank get a sort of varnish inside it that was impossible to clean out,we had to replace the tank.
    So if a vehicle sits for a while I use fuel doctor or something similar to preserve the fuel.
