My uncle stopped flying glow and went to all electric a few years ago. He sent me a few engines. A gms .35 NIB, and 2 OS 25's and a magnum 52 four stroker. Some robart air retracts with struts, and a lot of sullivan glow tanks. The 2 os and magnum engines and some of the tanks had to be soaked in fuel. I have about half a gallon of junked up glow fuel I do not know what to do with to dispose of it properly. Any help would be appreciated.

Pour it down the drain in honor of earthday!
JK I would pour it in some rags or in a jar or coffee can, let the methanol evaporate and just throw it away. Nothing too serious gonna be in it.

If it's only half a gallon...
You got any weeds growing up through the cracks in the sidewalk or driveway? Old fuel works pretty good as a weed killer...and is probably less hazzardous than actual "weed killer"...

I wish you were closer. I'd filter it and pour it in my 1960 Triumph TR3 car, like I do with all the old fuel, gasoline, etc., I have laying around I love this car, it's a blast to drive and she has no problem injesting a variety of solvents, as long as they are reasonably dilluted.
