Ouch that's a fair bit, premium too!! haha. . . Guess I've been guilty of that one before. How'd you very rid of it, drain it yourself or mechanic? Or its still in there. ?

Yeah that's what i did with the stuff i drained from the work car, made up some 2 stroke and put some in the motor bike. . . They were pretty smokey and smelt like a diesel bit they kept going haha. Nearly used it all up, didn't like the thought of wasting it . .

It only had about 20L of deisel in it so it is quite thin.
And seeing it's premium I may run it threw the falcon blended half tank at a time..
Even then it's like 2 months of fuel lol..
Not really fond of 120L of premium in the shed lol..

Took MrsTea out for her final practice before her course with the 4wd club next weekend today ............. & tested the strength of the pod! Backed into a tree (doh) & mangled one of the drop down spare wheel holders. I was not a happy chappy. And yep it was ME who did it. Thought I’d just turn the car around where we stopped for lunch out in the pines, believed I was on the track, & somehow had an 80 foot tall pine tree jump out in my way. Despite mangling the tyre holder there is no distortion or damage to the pod, & I’ve since been able to remove the tyre holder & with a vice, lots of leverage , a 4lb club hammer & my little stick welder have it almost as good as new again.

Was really pissed at myself, but what was worse was when I told MrsTea she should’ve been looking our for me .... she laughed. Guess I deserved that though! All things considered I got off very lightly .... it could’ve been *much* worse if the pod itself had been damaged & it says a lot for the robustness ofthe ex-Telstra Rosscos made Pods.

I reversed into a tree on Fraser Island a couple of years ago, the tree was not there when I pulled in and someone must have planted it when I was not looking.
My excuse was sun-glare and a hangover. My wife was helpful, she yelled out to stop after I had hit it.
