Not really a cruisers question, per se, but I have about 10 gallons of really old gas out of an old Cruiser. What do I do with it? How best to discard (free) without polluting. Any advice other than burning would be appreiciated, Thanks.

| I burned it 5 gallons at a time in my FJ60. The 2Fs just don't seem to care, and I had 10 gallons of last summer's gas in the 40 when I drained it. No issues at all, but I did run it through a screen filter to make sure there were no chunks.

| I use it to start the burn pile. Call around. Anyone with an orchard would likely be happy to use it as a starter when torching the pruning and burn pile.

| Do you mean you do not want too light it on fire or running it through your engine? Quote:

| I don't know where the ATL is but if you can find a farmer with an old tractor he can burn it. A ford 9N or 8N will burn darned near anything. | |
