I've recently become the reluctant owner of 75 gallons of unleaded regular gasoline, contaminated with about 15 per cent Diesel fuel. (I'll spare everyone the details, but let's just say the situation could have been worse). I've been advised to just blend in some more gas and use it up in any gasoline powered vehicle. (The ideal solution, of course, would be to dump it in a 5,000 gallon bulk tank--but the local service station is naturally opposed to this option). My plan is to pick one more or less expendable vehicle for this "expiriment", make a 50-50 mix of fresh and contaminated gas and give it a whirl. My question is, which one to pick. Fuel injected or carburated. Or should I just forget the whole idea and pay an oil recycler $100 to haul the whole mess away? -- -Dale Ward, President of LiMBO ____________________________________________________ The Late Model Bus Organization, international zzzzzzzzzzzzzz_ '90 Westfalia, '87 Syncro Westy |E[__][__]|[_]\\ '90 Vanagon, '84 Sunroof Vanagon | _ LiMBO | _ || '76 Westfalia, '72 Super Beetle =-( )-------( )--= '97 Passat Wagon 9 Golden Hill Ave '97 Golf Shrewsbury,MA 01545 http://www.bcn.net/~limbo
