Harvey, Gould 0738's suggestion is the correct one. Even a gas/oil mix, when
added to your car's tank in small quantities, won't harm your car's engine
or fuel system.

Today's gasolines go bad in 30 days. Using gas any older than that will
varnish your carb/fuel system, and you really don't want that to happen.

om...
I just purchased a used boat with a 1995 Merc 70 hp, 3 cyl. 2 stroke
"Force" motor. The previous owner said that the gas (~ 17 gallons)
was about a year and a half old. I would like to siphon it out into 4
five gallon cans. Has anyone done this and where do you suggest I
dispose of it. Please be kind.... I know where I don't want to put
it. I contacted the local Air Force Base Fire Department to see if
they could use it to burn during a practice fire, but the local Air
Quality Management Department (AQMD) required them to install propane
burners and burn propane during fire practice.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
