Weighing the cost of an injection pump against the cost of 10 gallons of 
fuel, I would think "saving" everything at times is false economy.

Donate it to a museum that runs old gas tractors.  They have really low 
compression, and can burn most anything that goes through a main jet.

No way would I put oxidized gasoline into the fuel tank of my diesel 
cars.  That's just asking for problems.

that's my thoughts anyway.
