Fuel disposal

[chrispyduck]

Where do you dispose of old petrol ?

Always wanted to know where i should get rid of my old fuel............can`t put in the car as its diesel, too volatile to take to the tip, burying it is not an option

[z1bman]

your local council tip should have facilities to despose of oil diesel +petrol

BUT
DON'T get it on your hands if you use it to wash parts
When they took the lead out of petrol for health reasons , they replaced it with Benzene.

Nasty stuff benzene.
can be inhaled AND can be absorbed through intact skin.
The body can't degrade it so it stores it in your bone marrow. For the rest of your life. It's one of those accumulative poisons - once you reach a certain amount in your bone marrow you get leukaemia.
So if you fall into a vat of unleaded you might get sudden massive exposure to benzene and get leukaemia soon
Or you can wash your bike parts in unleaded every weekend for years with no gloves and run the risk of a slow inexorable accumulation over decades.
Things they don't tell you , eh?
"the green alternative!"
