Diesel disposal
I drained a sample of fuel from the water separator and it appears to be water free. What do you guys do with the sample? If it looks clean do you just dump it back in the tank?

That is why I let the dealer do my fuel filter change. I have diesel that I cant get rid of. You are not supposed to put it in the waste oil but I dont judge LOL Alright sometimes I do

Didn't know that but I'm not sure why it'd be an issue. In the summer, I bring it back to Auto Zone and they didn't say anything about it. I brought in my own jug and needed it back so I'm sure he could smell it when he dumped it. In the winter, there's a small local garage that takes it to burn. I'll have to ask him if he cares, I'd guess no though for him. Do you know why it's an issue to put in the waste oil?

I thought of that too but my waste oil goes to a local guy that burns it in an oil burner for heat. Not sure he'd want diesel in there.

Dumping half a quart of diesel in a several hundred gallon vat of used motor oil is nothing. Besides that, even a substantial blend of diesel and used oil would process just fine in an oil burner.
