I've searched high and low and can't find an answer.

I've got half a bottle of charcoal lighter fluid left from my pre-propane days that I haven't been able to get rid of. I was curious if anybody tried pouring this stuff in the gas tank to get rid of it. I get rid of old 2-cycle gas/oil mix by dumping it in the mountaineer's gas tank... has anybody disposed of charcoal lighter fluid this way?
 






Seafoam smells like lighter fluid so I say go for it.

a few oz probably won't be noticable.

I would save it for ant nests though if it was me. Ever see how fast they run when a fire hits em?

LOL, as a kid I'd cut caterpillar nests out of trees (those big white silky things), put them in a wheelbarrow (back when they were made of metal), douse with pyroil and light them up. Made for good summer entertainment!

The Kingsford people say I shouldn't put the stuff in my gas tank, but they would probably advise against burning ants with it too. I'll probably dump it in tonight.
