Here at work, we occasionally test the effectiveness of exhaust-control systems of various vehicles. To that end, we store several barrels of standardized vehicle-certification fuel in the garage, but since we don't test vehicles all the time, the fuel generally just sits in its barrels for long stretches of time.
This morning, the Fire Marshall made a workplace inspection, and he was unhappy with the idea of idle barrels of fuel just laying around the garage. Get rid of the fuel, he ordered.
So later, when I rolled into the parking lot, D. was out there, rolling a barrel of automobile fuel around. He asked: "Would you like some fuel? It's high-quality 'cert' fuel. It's free!"
In these troubled times, it's nice to have someone roll some fuel up to your car and give it away.
The big challenge will be giving away the barrel of ethanol fuel, which is appropriate only for flex-fueled vehicles (FFVs). There may not be enough of those vehicles at work that can use it.
But we're resourceful. I'm sure we'll think of something....
