lwt42 - You always amaze me. Interesting tip. Must say that the 'drop off' places have a lot of rules and few opportunities to follow them. They're open a couple days a week for X hours, no more than 5 gallons, they keep your gas can or you can come back for it. What I have are a number of unopened pre-mixed gas with 2-cycle oil added for weed trimmers, hedge trimmer, and chain saw. It had stabilizers in it. It's 3 years old. My wonderful son stocked me up. I will keep your tip in mind. (p.s. Did you know that repealing the FP-5 tax is on the ballot again for June? Should start a different thread I guess.) Thanks. And, thanks to you too Wrightwood.
