    What do I do if I cannot completely drain all of the gas from the mower tank and the mower doesn't run? Just a little remains. Is there something I could put in the tank to absorb it?
    Community Answer
    Leave the cap off the tank and let the mower just sit there for a couple of days. Any remaining petrol will have evaporated away completely by then.

    I am not sure if the gas I have is mixed for a lawnmower or just old gasoline. How could I test it?

    You can pour it in a glass and see if it's darker than normal gasoline. This is a quick and easy way to tell.

    After filling my scooter tank with vinegar for 2 days, there is residue on the sides and bottom. Can I just insert a hose and pressure out the sediment?

    Community Answer
    You could try using a siphon or an old turkey baster to remove the vinegar. Do not use the turkey baster for food or beverage purposes after using it for siphoning vinegar and gasoline.
