can it be used or should l just take it the to recycle center?

l opened the container and the gas is very clear and smells like it is good.

If l do not have any weeds to pour it on l would take it too the center. If you try and use it, it will clog up the engine.

Take it to any oil-change or auto parts place and they should be able to dispose of it for you. l would not recommend using it.

l would dump it in my Jeep is gas tank and burn it with some new gas. It is old and mixed with oil so l would not burn it in a newer car. You can take it to a recycle center and dump it if you are scared to burn it.

Gas is gas.you can use it in either a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke engine.

Now, if you added 2-stroke oil to it, that is another story.

Either way, pump gas has a shelf life of about 6 months. You can try to dilute it with fresh fuel and use it in another vehicle/engine or take it to a recycling centre.

Burn it in your pickup. l have an 04 Chev. Silverado and dump all my old 2 cycle gas in the pickup tank. Wait until your tank is getting low, dump it in and go fill the tank so the old 2 cycle gas / oil mix with new gas and it burns just fine.

l routinely add mixed 2 stroke fuel into my truck. l have never experienced any problems with it. Some has been 4 years old or older. If it still smells a bit like gasoline, l am pouring it in!

run it thru your car or truck mixed with fresh gas you will be fine

The above about burning it in your vehicle is 100% sound advice.

l wouldnt use it in a small engine, but as long as it doesnt have that ''skunky gas smell'' mix it with good gas in your vehicle tank and burn it, too expensive to waste. The guy said dumping it on weeds, good grief man that is illegal and extremely bad for the environment, the rest of us have to live here too.
