Default Old gasoline

What do you do with old gas which is probably too nasty to be used in a lawnmower? I want to remove my gas tank but I don't know what to do with the two year old gas that's been sitting in it. Is there some responsible way to get rid of old gas? I kind of doubt it but I don't know everything so...yeah.

Thanks,
Daniel

Our community has a haz-mat pickup a few times a year. They'll pick up used oil and batteries, etc.. I would assume your's would too. I'd call the city refuse pickup or local recycling center. They would have info on how to dispose of it properly.

You could also contact your local lube shops. They may take it for free, especially if you use their services. Or at the very least, would know where to take it...

Check your local small engine repair place or if you live near a boating community try a boat engine repair shop. Often times they will take the old gas off your hands and dispose of it.

The old gas will be just fine if you mix it with new gas. Transfer it to 5 gallon cans and just add to your car a gallon or 2 at a time until it's gone.
