If you mean two stroke motor sell it to evinrude, they can relabel it as an etec and sell it to everyone else

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle: waiting for the flames :evil: :evil: :evil:

I love all the suggestions but im talking 30L-50L of 2 stroke fuel. Is there any type of fuel/oil disposers?

Have a dig around in this site. It talks about contaminated fuel drop off sites.

Why not sell it on here for 50c a litre? Bet u sell it before the weekend is out

Just take off the fuel line squeeze the fuel bowl into a few balloons and float them out to sea for some unsuspecting turtle

Jimbo where are you based? I regularly use old 2 stroke in my lawn mower.

If you're anywhere near Manly, I'll take it off your hands.

I've got the same problem. Needed to use my backup 25L fuel tank for the Tuna Social so emptied about 15L of old fuel - I'm not certain if I've mixed outboard oil through it already or not? Does it matter (if the outboard oil is in it or not) if I use it in my mower - would you just add the usual 2-stroke oil that I use for my mower. Possibly a dumb question as I don't know much about engines but if I can use it I may as well - saves the hassle of disposing of it.

I use my old 2 stroke fuel through my 4 stroke mower and had done for many years.

The oil in the fuel does not bother the 4 stroke,it blows a bit of smoke but thats all.

I also use it through the whipper snipper and chainsaws without any issues ever.

Bit of oil on the valves wont hurt at all
