Octane Supreme 130

[Donald B.]

I have a case (12 quarts) of Octane Supreme 130 that is about 4 years old. Each plastic container has "shrunk" like there has been evaporation - even though the cap seals are not broken.

I have no need for this product and wanted to give them away but don't want to mess up anyone else's engine.

Does anyone know what has happened and is this product still good?

If no good I CAN dispose of this product safely/legally.

Thanks

Give KemCo a call in Utah. Ask for Bob, he knows his stuff really well.

as long as the bottles are treated correctly, the TEL additive has a LONG shelf life - the bottle is another story.

I have a case that is 3 years old, and my bottles have sunk in a little bit.

The content is just fine - I use the stuff all the time.

Don:

Octane Supreme 130 is TEF (tetraethyl lead fluid) in a toluene carrier. The TEF fluid is a mix of tetraethyl lead, and ethylene dichloride/ethylene dibromide as lead scavengers. As Bill has stated, the TEL additive has a very long shelf life. Even very old OS 130 should not cause any harm. However, the only way to safely dispose is thru combustion....in your car engine or an approved incinerator.

Why not put it in the cars and use it up? Just don't spill any on the paint, as it is a good paint remover.

Does your community sponsor annual hazardous material collections? They would probably accept it. Just bring a MSDS with you so they know what it contains. Kemco used to have these available on their website.
