Hi,
I recently bought a Husky 365 x torq and the dealer said to be sure to pour out the gas if its 30 days old. I know that gas will gum things up when its old, but my question is what to do with the old gas? I have a fire pit out back that I have been pouring it on, but I wonder about some of it seeping into the ground. We have a well. Are there any concerns about gasoline contaminating ground water? I thought most of it evaporated but I dont know. Also, it seems ironic that the EPA is putting ethanol in gas to help the environment, but the result is people dumping old gas because of the ethanol in it. Any thoughts appreciated.
