What to do with old gas?
The cleanest way to dispose of it is to burn it in "something".
Siphon at least 15 gallons of it out into three 5 gallon cans.
Then use it in the lawnmower (50/50 with real gas) or add it slowly to the
car or back into the boat... always making sure it's no more than 15% of the
fuel supply. And make sure it's CLEAN before using it in anything.
I've run into a lot of "free gas" that way. Just use it SLOWLY.
The little oil (50/1) mixed in won't hurt anything.

So I recently acquired a 1965 Bayliner 19', I already know I have a huge
project ahead of me but before I can go much further, the fuel tank is
*full* of gas which has been sitting in there for over 4 years. There
was a bottle of stabilizer among the assorted crap in the boat but I'm
guessing this stuff must be far too old to run in a motor. How do I get
rid of it? There must be close to 20 gallons of 50:1.
