Pour it into storm drain.. fire department and EPA might be called if your neighbors witness it.

A note on the metal jerry can - they rust easily. Mine did. I only buy plastic jerry cans from then on.

Think about storing a boat. Parked in the late fall, brought out in the spring. Still runs good. I would mix with fresh gas in the car as others have said.

Wait until someone posts a picture of spiders at their house and offer it to them. They're going to need it.

We are talking about saving twelve bucks here. I say take it for disposal. Do you guys eat old food in the fridge? I am cheap but try to do a cost analysis here. Do you guys take old antibiotics thinking they still may be good? I am not trying to criticize here. Each to his own.

If he’s in the same boat I was it’s not the money that is the issue, but the difficulty of finding a place to dump it combined with a time limit. I recently got divorced and sold my house and moved to FL so I found myself in a situation where I had a lot of Haz-Mat fluids and no time to deal with them.

I called a few local junk hauling companies and found one who would take it for me. It cost me more than doing it myself but I didn’t have time to do that since every place I found near me was only open on weekdays. You might want to try that.

That seems a bit odd. My local city has a recycle center. They will pour gas from my can into their recycle tank and hand me back my can.

It does gave to arrive there in a container for gas, not mason jars etc.

Can you call your place and ask them?

Mix with fresh gas and add some stabil

Call your local Fire Department. My brother runs the Hazmat team and they run disposals several times a year. A fully involved garage with lots of chemicals causes problems for them so it is in their best interest.

This can be made as complicated as you desire. Just mix it with fresh gas and use it.

Like the man said , just use it . Mix it with fresh gas and move on with your life .

Asshole neighbor’s front lawn

Got some Styrofoam?

Ever wanted to experiment with napalm?

Did I miss it, or has nobody mentioned Molotov cocktails yet?





Seriously, though, I'd put it through the mower or maybe even the truck. I've got year-old gasoline right now... it'll run the mower just fine next week or next fall.

You missed it. Hidden above in a previous post.

Dang!

Maybe you could suggest napalm. I don't believe anyone has suggested napalm, yet.

Gear.Up covered that just above vthoky’s first post.

Not sure how I missed that. I read the first line about Styrofoam.

What does it smell like? Gas takes on an entirely different smell when it goes bad, if it still smells good and a small amount of it looks good in a glass container, then you can probably use it. If it smells off, I certainly wouldn't risk pouring it into anything I own, the costs of what bad gas can do, seriously outweight potentially saving $12

As Pale Horse mentioned, it's not the value of the questionable fuel, it's the question of how to properly dispose of it, like from a HazMat perspective. OP said that he would have to relinquish his jerry can to dispose at his local landfill, which he's not willing to do. So how else to get rid of it?
