Nice to see some common sense about this. I have accidently spilled
string-trimmer fuel mix and/or gas on my lawn, and while it turns yellow
for awhile, it always comes back. Where we live, and in our business, we
store bulk fuel, and spills do happen. Believe me, lots of stuff
(dandelions, burdock, grass, wild mint, etc.) grows like crazy around and
under the fuel tanks.
