I have some old gas from the last time I went to the Mansfield jettys, about a year ago. Its not ethanol blend and has been stored in a plastic 6-gal container in my tool shed.

How do I get rid of the stuff?

You might try and contact the TNRCC. Alternatively KOCH might accept it.

How about mixing it with some new gas and use it in your lawn mower or edger???

I wouldn't put it in a edger or lawnmower because they are pretty sensitive. (some of them) I say take it to the city dump if you dont have any uses.

TNRCC or maybe even the local fire department.

I have mixed old gas with new and been just fine. Mix 4 or 5 new to 1 old and dump it in your truck. My 99 Suburban doesn't seem to mind the mix at all.

Yeah, don't waste it. Next time you need to fill up, pour some or all of it into the truck and then fill the truck up.

If you don't want it, I will take it.

mix with some new gas, if it is an older vehicle it doesnt matter..
new vehicles are so picky on everything you close the door the wrong way she might bark back..

if it is sealed well and doesnt have to much water absorbed use 104 octane boost.... it will help with the water in the fuel and give it enough kick to burn any any vehicle.... i use to use it regularly on my tricked out motorcycle.. got bad gas one time and boy was only able to drive 1/2 mile from gas station, came to light and lucky to putt into autoparts place, 2 cans in 6 gallons and once fuel in carb burned out didnt notice any issues.

good luck

Yes, it's VERY good stuff! I have some old yard implements that are actually older than me: they were my grandparents from CC!!! One is an edger that still ran but was low on power and died easily. Seafoam fixed it right up! Wink
