The gas is probably almost 5 years old. I don’t think it’s a good idea to put it back into my car. ---

^ I was thinking about that too. lol. Maybe I should bring it to the junk yard and dump it in one of their cars…but wait…they probably removed the gas out of those junked cars too. Any ideas? ---

old gasoline turns into varnish… so anything you feel like running on varnish … go for it. If it’s that big of a deal you can dump it in my waste oils drum. I have a gallon of old gas/varnish around for starting fires :shrug: ---

> [@\_Karu\_](#): > > The gas is probably almost 5 years old. I don’t think it’s a good idea to put it back into my car. I recently drained my cars full but 3 year old tank of gas and put it in my lawnmower. Surprisingly the ethanol stayed in composition with the rest of the fuel quite well, and still smelled relatively fresh. I still wouldnt use it in anything you cared ALOT about (IE, new lawn tractor or another car) but for my beat up lawnmower it worked good, no issues ---

it’s just a lawn mower, how much can it be? just dump it anywhere seriously. probably thousands of gallons of gas are being leak out from vehicles every second. methods like jam mentioned. ---
