Ethanol rant

Well, today I went out to see if any of the other gasoline powered tools suffered the same stale fuel disease as the chain saw. Guess what, none of them would start except for one which ran for exactly three seconds and then wouldn't restart.

So, I spent two hours draining each gas tank into an approved container and then the two gas cans...one for straight gas and the other a gas/oil mixture. Now to dispose of the fuel in an environmentally sound fashion. Not as easy as it sounds as the local recycle center claims they will take waste gasoline but want the container it comes in as well and I'm not willing to pass along a 10 dollar container all that easily. Will see what happens tomorrow.
