Precise1 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 estimated 45 gallons in nine plastic jugs, Dartmouth's District 3 Fire Chief Richard Arruda said. The jugs were covered by cloth rags and stacked in a hallway closet that housed the air conditioning system, Chief Arruda said. Sheit, I have to laugh!! Thats dumber than dumb!! Besides, even if they had been hoarding it for 6 months, they have saved, what, $50 max? I can come up with ways of making $50 over 6 months that don't involve explosions, thank you... Morans!! Although, I must say, My favorite is when people siphon gas with a shopvac... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) yup that's good stuff. It is even more critical to use in carbureted engines. unccpath, i don't know about cars, but i sure can tell the difference between old and new gas when i run it through my 25hp 2-stroke outboard Edited June 7, 2008 by skrillaguerilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
