I have 25 litres of contaminated petrol.
What the best way to dispose of it?

(Note to self ..... do not try to fix a leaking petrol can filler pipe using self amalgamating tape. It's disolves in petrol!)
 
Dilute it & use it in lawnmower/ hedgetrimmer etc. They are likely to have unsophisticated engines that will cope with some rubber pollution in the fuel - and even if there is a problem, it won't kill you.
 
Add it to a full tank of your central heating oil, it will be well diluted and cause no problems - might even heat your house better! :D
 
I inadvertantly filled my diesel van up with petrol 6 months back.It was 30% diesel.
I have slowly been using it up in mowers and strimmers and the jetwasher etc.I had around 60 litres.

I filled the machines up as normal with 50% normal mix and 50% contaminated petrol and they have been absolutley fine with it.
