Fuel Disposal
 
What's the best and safest way to dispose of nitro fuel? I have some fuel from last Sept in my garage and I want to get rid of it. Even though it's been sealed (red cap on top of the opening under the cap), I don't know if it's going to be good come springtime. I'd rather get new fuel for my new engine I have to break in, than risk ruining it with bad fuel.

any help would be appreciated

Bring it to circuit and leave it there....... somebody will collect it.

hehehe, with the piston slamming through the head and landing in the neighbours pool two doors down... while you quicky throw the mower back into the shed and run inside...?

No it wasn't that bad.
I just revved heaps more and smelt sweet [exhaust ]
Then came to a sudden stop as the piston melted in the barrel and seazed.
It was an old mower so it did not really matter,but it was great fun.
