Subject:Free Gas!

I've recently become the reluctant owner of 75 gallons of unleaded
regular gasoline, contaminated with about 15 per cent Diesel fuel.
(I'll spare everyone the details, but let's just say the situation
could have been worse). I've been advised to just blend in some more
gas and use it up in any gasoline powered vehicle. (The ideal
solution, of course, would be to dump it in a 5,000 gallon bulk
tank--but the local service station is naturally opposed to this
option). My plan is to pick one more or less expendable vehicle for
this "expiriment", make a 50-50 mix of fresh and contaminated gas and
give it a whirl. My question is, which one to pick. Fuel injected or
carburated. Or should I just forget the whole idea and pay an oil
recycler $100 to haul the whole mess away?
