I have a tank full of 1 year old gas in my truck. Siphoned it from the

main tank to a saddle tank, but still have to get rid of it. Not many places here to get rid of old gas.
Truck ran like Shirt when I tried to use it. No telling how much damage I did to the engine, but seems to run ok now with fresh gas. I only put about 5 gal in it now since it isn't used much. That crappy ethanol gas goes bad in a hurry.

I'm surprised with all the farming there and Chesapeake. -- 48zip 10/13/2018 3:24PM

If there was a real market there, gas companies would oblige. ** -- CPRVHokie 10/13/2018 12:57PM

There is a market for it, but the problem is cost. -- EDGEMAN 10/13/2018 2:58PM

Then there isn’t a market. I wholeheartedly agree that the ethanol -- CPRVHokie 10/13/2018 9:49PM
