Bad Gas....where/how do you.....

[txsteele]

get rid of it???

I have some gas cans that have been sitting for awhile and think the gas may be bad.

Any ideas??

[rdkerrville]

burn it? just be very careful

[Uncle Saggy]

What a let down.........

Burn pile

[Tubby]

pour it in a bucket and let it evaporate..... outside and away from younguns and pets of course!

[RealTreeHunter]

put the cans in a group in the middle of a field
stick a rag on the end of an arrow and light it with a match
back waaaay up
have a target practice at the gas cans

might want to have the local fire department standing by though....

[TxAg]

I just let 'er rip!

[Ricky T]

Yeah. Beano and lay off the pintos.

There's not much chance of that gas getting good again. I'd toast it. Either that or use it in something that's a little more forgiving, like a lawnmower or something.

Unless you know of someone in the oil industry that works in a refinery...

I don't understand your logic. Small engines are way less forgiving. You'll mess up a mower, tiller, preassure washer, ect.... using old gas. I only run clean fresh gas in mine because I have had to pay to get them running from using old gas.



I say pour it in your truck a little at a time. Like maybe 3-4 gallons of old per fill up until all the old gas is gone. This is what I do if my gas sits for longer than 3 weeks in a gas can. Your car/truck has the most forgiving engine to burn the old gas. I have poured gas that was over a year old in my truck and have no issues. If you don't believe me ask your local small engine repair shop.

You can do as others have said about letting it evaporate or using to start a bon fire

My logic is based on experience. I've used old gas in lawnmowers and had no issues. But that's just my experience. As they say, your mileage may vary.

[cjkozik]

use it in the lawnmower

[Atfulldraw]

fill the cans up with super unleaded, then carry it around in your truck till you see someone out of gas....

j/k -

but seriously, would mixing it with super help ??
