Well that seems safe too... It's not like anyone ever throws cigs out their car windows.

I refer to plan B, put it in with some used oil and recycle it.

I'm not really sure why you're trolling me on this...? What's the deal?

The fumes would be gone in short order if it's spread out.

Because we're talking about NOT burning yourself up.
Oh sure, I've used gas to light a fire. But, I've watched more idiots do it and burn the hair off their arms and face too. (No alcohol involved, just an idiot with gas and a match.)

It sounds like you're down with my plan B I initially suggested and have used plan A before... like thousands of other people.

Maybe its just the "internet thing" but you seem to have an issue with just about everything that doesn't come from your very fingers on a keyboard.

I respect you as a guy with a lot of mechanical knowledge, but you just manage to be, nicely stated, "assertive", for practically no reason a good portion of the time.

It's the internet. No one is going to be happy all of the time and I'm sure over a beer or a coke we would be friends. I just don't get you sometimes. Are you trying to be hostile?

I agree. He's been on a tear lately being negative Nelly. I think he needs to go in time out.

Negative? Or truthful/honest?

I call it like I see it. Some people confuse honesty with negativity.

I let it settle to get the water out then use it a little at a time in my pickup. Like 1 gal per full tank. The truck doesn't even notice it.

I too use gas to light up a burn pile. I'm a piro. Been burned before but its still fun. I put old gas in used motor oil bottles. When we have too many we just drop them off at the local farm who mixes it with oil to power his shop heaters. Works well. Tho sometimes they end up as long distance targets for the .270 or .223 lol

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
