  1. Whilst in my garage yesterday I found an old plastic fuel can that I seem to have filled with petrol God knows when.

    How can I dispose of it without ruining the whole of the ecostructure of the planet?

  3. One of the benefits of living where I live is I no longer have a lawn and therefore no longer have a lawnmower :upyeah:

  6. Keep a bit back to use as a penetrating oil, it does work.

  9. I don't know how long it's been there and when I took the top off to smell it it hardly smelled of petrol. So I wouldn't risk it on my bike.

    I would on yours though :wink:

  14. Save it to start the barbeque or make a molitov cocktail, start a riot. [​IMG]

    I'm sure you could find a use for one of these.

  18. If you do use it on a BBQ be very careful. My brother in law almost ended up hairless after trying that stunt.
    You could just give it to a neighbour or friend who does have a lawnmower.

  19. I put 4 gallon of petrol in my diesel hi-lux . Thought about it for 2 seconds then filled it up with diesel . Tank holds 12 gallon so that was one third petrol . Went like a steroided whippet . That was 60k miles ago so it didnt do any harm . Not done it again though.

  20. Once we've decided, could we move onto "Getting rid of old people" ?
