Remember when there were promises of consumer benefits when they were selling us fracking? When does that kick in?

How bad is it? If it’s just a year or so old, it will still run ok in a lot of smaller engines like lawnmowers and snowblowers. I’ve never found anyone that will take it, at least not in my community. If you have a small amount you can pour it into a wide flat pan and let it evaporate. I don’t know what to do with larger amounts. If you find out let me know because I have about 40 gallons in my boat I need to get rid of.

Google says Autozone does not take gas or coolant.

Pennsylvania Resources Council now runs hazardous household chemical and e-waste recycling for the City. They have household chemical collections coming up and take old fuel. There is a small fee, but it’s not too bad and you know it will properly disposed of that way.

I don’t see why not. If your area has a disposal service that is best, but this is a alternative solution. I’ve done it with oil mixed with coolant, gasoline, etc…. I’m sure someone is smarter than me and will tell me why I’m wrong though. I’m up for a solution better than mine. I work on all my own equipment and always have RV antifreeze, coolant, and what not.

Cut good gas with it heavily if a lawnmower etc. Lightly if a car like a qt per full tank

Can you do this with gas that is mixed with oil for a leaf blower?

I live in a town in PA that doesn’t have any resource to take old gas or coolant. So I do it myself. Here’s my advice. Gasoline evaporates very quickly. Buy some bags of kitty litter, and contractor bags. Pour small amounts of gas into the kitty litter, let it evaporate, and repeat. Of course you want to do this in your yard in a place that has zero chance of kids playing or cigarette smokers. Throw it all in contractor bags and it goes to the landfill. Landfills are supposed to be properly lined to protect the environment, and if you use expensive contractor bags and double them up there’s a good chance your bags won’t even get punctured. I look at it like I can’t depend on a moron to do it so I’ll do it so it had a chance to not leech out into a water source.

Autozone takes used oil if you change your own. Might want to give them a call

Reply to comment by C_ditty in Has anyone else had negative experiences growing up in Mt. Lebanon and or Mt. Lebanon High School? by [deleted]
I've worked at the high school both just on the grounds and actually 'embedded' (babysitting) with the kids on and off for the past 12 years doing security for events, so I've had a lot of time just watching the kids and the parents interact naturally.
You could not be more correct, in my experience.

Thanks for the replies folks. I’m just curious as heck about what makes neighborhoods tick, the peopke, infrastructure, common struggles, the families. Poster grew up in tight Buffalo neighborhood, and the makeup of neighborhoods always interested me. Have a good weekend folks.

City schools are just teenage daycares with rundown facilities. Lebo has state of the art athletics and arts facilities and have an environment that’s actually conducive to success in the classroom. Test scores dont lie.

I'm dreading mine. It ran nonstop and never got above 59 during that cold snap. I fully anticipate at least $600
