I've always wondered about this myself, what would happen if you used leaded petrol a few times then reverted back to unleaded?

if it's LEADED, it hasn't been sold for like 10 yrs, and if it's Lead replacement (i think they called it super?) it still hasn't been sold for a good 4 or 5 yrs. now taking in consideration that fuel goes off after 6mths with preservatives... stale fuel = anywhere from runnign sluggish to flushing/replacing your whole fuel system.
do the math, if you dont know long that fuel has been there, i would personally mix it with foam and take a match to it instead... somewhere far far away from anything that you dont want blown up/burnt. would be much more fun... and probably safer

+1 and sounds like a great method of getting rid of it. Or send it to dstocks for the next bonfire
