    the yard I work at, I was the car guy for a bit, now I'm elsewhere. We get free gas from the "waste" gas. I haven't had a problem with it yet. Its cheaper than buying gas and I mean the Man already got their share when the original car owners bought it. Its already there and needs to be disposed of and I need to go to work everyday. so its like killing two birds with one stone. as for the bad gas and diesel we have a ball valve on our lines. If we see its good it goes through two filters and a centrifuge. If its bad it goes elsewhere. If its diesel It usually goes in the waste oil tank and burned in the heater during the winter. If you have a lazy guy running cars for a day who knows what ends up where. We all get gas that way and only had one problem with anyones vehicle. although that might have been less of an accident than was originally let on. If you think you might be getting bad gas let pump it into a drained and clear plastic water bottle, let it sit for a minute and see what color it is. If its real dark or milky looking its bad. if you see water at the bottom its bad. Its illegal to have gas in drinking water bottles so get rid of it (safely) before you move your truck.
