<DIV dir=ltr>Thanks everyone, so far. This has nothing to do with
frugality. It's like $3.00 worth of fuel. This is more about the
only two choices I'm seeing at the moment: burn it; or store it for a
relatively long time until I can get around to disposing of it properly.
As for use as a degreaser, I use mineral spirits for that. Trailer
decking, I don't own a trailer. As for brush burning, I don't. I
either shred brush or cart it to my local transfer station who has a big
brush-pile and chipper/composting operation.<BR></DIV>

<DIV>I recently discovered I have a diesel fuel leak, and while trying to
find time for diagnosis and repair, I started parking the tractor over a big
drip-pan. The pan collected roughly a gallon over the course of ...
well, I can't say precisely but around a week or two. That fuel
dripped thru the normal grime found on engines, so it's pretty dirty.
(And I since discovered that turning off the fuel petcock effectively
controls the leak)<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have filtered it multiple times. First thru paper towel;
clogged three or four getting that done. Next thru coffee filters,
again, it took 4 to finish the job. Finally thru a Covid mask (regular
surgical type not N95). That one never clogged and captured very
minimal additional material.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I have now is therefore free of particulate big enough to catch in
coffee filters and surgical masks. It remains discolored; if fresh
diesel was the color of Budweiser, this stuff looks like a nice brown
ale.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What says the list? Burn it? Will the tractor's fuel filter
take out everything big enough to cause problems with the pump or
injectors? (Seems like that should be a design criteria for that
filter, no?) If I do burn it, I will dilute it about 5:1 with fresh
fuel. <BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I don't burn it, it will eventually be carted away to our local
Hazardous Waste Day held annually about 25 miles from here - I manage to
remember and get over there only about once every 3-5 years.</DIV>
