it here too and see what you all think...Thanks !

Thanks in advance
Chance

receivers, various motors, spurs and pinions.

   I need some advice on getting rid of old model fuel.  I have some old
model airplane fuel and I don't know what to do with it.  Is there a
hazardous waste disposal site to go to in the state of Virginia?  Can this
fuel be safely reused in a weed wacker or a lawn mower?  It is a
