RE: [DML] Flushing Fuel System/ Fuel Disposal



Jason,

    Good question...and one I faced also when I got my D. Other members on 
the list may have a better answer for you than this but here's mine:

I went everywhere I could think of (Gas stations, auto mechanic shops, Pep 
boys, etc.) to ask about disposing of the gasoline in my D that had sat for 
three years but was turned away. It was a real dilemma for me. I even 
reseacrhed on the EPA web site. Basically there solution was to strain your 
old gasoline through coffee filter and mix it with fresh gas. I did NOT want 
to do that. Basically I ended up straining mixing the old gas with fresh gas 
in a rental car that I just coincidentally had (thanks to a problem with my 
daily driver). The car ran like crap for a while but it consumed all the 
gas.

My solution for you? Rent a car...;-)
