...safely and legally... (always a catch). Maybe you northerners have a way if not burned up before winter came? -thx, cheers, still motoring happily. -Rob.

I would use it, if its regular not in the bimmer. If the can was sealed air tight and no sun got to it should last a year no problem.

Add some Stabil & burn it off in your lawn mower, rototiller, ect.

Talk to your township, i know where I live my township will allow me to dispose of 'hazardous chemicals' once or twice a month for free at the township building. Just a thought...

Pour it in the gutter. Light it. It will be all gone before anybody catches you. No, like Geak said, call your city or county. Mine has a big tank you can dump fuids like that in

and have fun making a crater in a empty field or vaporizing a abandaned car (anfo bomb = ammonium nitrate + some sort of fuel oil with a blasting cap or other small kicker charge)

actually the wife's car is a great idea.... travelling next week to Tampa (~ 1K round trip), will bring it along and use little by little.... dump in some techron on the last fill up and by then she'll be due for an oil change anyway (the 4Runner...not the wife...i digress ;-P ) Have a good holiday. Thx. - Rob. (soon to take the plunge & order the famous sachs kit w/m-tech sways, total control arms, and tie rods...)

I would just put it in my truck..... or a little at a time in the 535. Fuel is fuel when mixed with good fuel.

Or if we had one of these flamethrowers, this old fuel would work perfectly fine in it:

Assuming it's from hurricane season 2004, I wouldn't hesitate to use it even if it is regular. If you're concerned then blend half of it with a nearly full tank of premium. 2-3 gallons in 20 gallons is insignificant. BTW, my '93 525iM handles 100% regular just fine in weather below 70F. Knock sensors are wonderful things.
