Usually burn it up in the saws , if not mix into tractor or burn pit
Cracks me up the newest vehicle most un-reliable … I agree the newest stuff seems to be the biggest junk , I can just about run anything threw my old 7.3 power stroke , I’ve had the new trucks , not worth itRight into the toilet. Dilution is the solution!
Just kidding.
If it has any hint of ethanol separation or water contamination, it goes in my '94 S10 plow truck. That thing will damn near burn water. If it's just stale with no water present, it'll go in either our '86 Grand Marquis, '93 Volvo 940, or the '07 Silverado. Whichever one is low on fuel. The Silverado is most likely to break down out of the 3, so I tend to put more premix in that. That crappily engineered engine needs all the help it can get! I pour the old premix through hard screened coffee filters I got out of the trash back when I worked in the industry, especially if it came out of a chainsaw.
My buddy just recently got me one of those funnels that prevents water from passing through it, so I've been using that more often now.
Yes sir got a grand marquis with 285k runs like a champAMEN!
Nudging 290k on that Grand Marquis - original driveline, AND original in-tank electric fuel pump!
I generally dump onto a pile of old railroad ties and throw a flaming torch.I'd like to dispose of older mixed gas that I don't use. I figure this is a common problem, we mix a can of gas-oil and end up not using the whole can.
I don't want to dump it into ground. Any good ways to get rid of old gas?
Blasphemy!we mix a can of gas-oil and end up not using the whole can.
Just use it next time you have a campfire. Pour it over the wood. Then, tie a piece of newspaper or paper towel to a long stick (at least 10 feet long), light the paper, and then stand at least ten feet back, and touch it to the 2-stroke mixture-coated wood. Just be very careful with this method.I'd like to dispose of older mixed gas that I don't use. I figure this is a common problem, we mix a can of gas-oil and end up not using the whole can.

I've dumped some nasty separated stuff into my '07 Silverado once (26 gallon tank), and it created a long crank time & rough idle for a few weeks. Same nasty stuff in our '86 Grand Marquis, '93 940, or the '94 S10 plow truck, and you won't even notice - those have 18 & 20 gallon tanks, respectively. Not sure the capacity on the S10 - might be 18.5, but that never gets filled past a half tank since the undercarriage is so rusted out, anything could fail at any moment - the less I have to siphon out the better. That gets all the nasty stuff, water and all, lol.dump it into my 2001 F150 and drive forest drive!
in reality if you have 3/4's of a tank of gas and you dump one gallon of totally rotted, E-10 (or 85 for that matter) snot laced, water laden crap mix at 40:1 it will be fine and dandy. you might have to change a fuel filter if its truly snot laced... but that's about it. think about it... 30 gall is the average for a truck.... so call it 21 gallons of clean fuel.... one gallon of premix. whats that make it? about .03% mix .... your engine burns more oil than that in normal operation probably.
looks like you are hellbent on getting your moneys worth out of it!I've dumped some nasty separated stuff into my '07 Silverado once (26 gallon tank), and it created a long crank time & rough idle for a few weeks.

I don't have that problem since I use what I mix. If you use non ethanol fuel and store it right it's good for well over a year. When I've had old or dirty fuel to deal with, I generally burn it. Lots of fun ways to do that.I don't want to dump it into ground. Any good ways to get rid of old gas?
Yea, old diesel engines will run on almost anything. I've seen used though filtered and heated vegetable oil used. Will never forget the running semi that smelled like french fries for miles.Cracks me up the newest vehicle most un-reliable … I agree the newest stuff seems to be the biggest junk , I can just about run anything threw my old 7.3 power stroke , I’ve had the new trucks , not worth it
