Default Re: Really old gasoline question

I've just recently tried to use a truck and fire up an 87 gt mustang I've let sit for several years. Yeah I know I'm a moron that just let it get away from me. I tried using the truck, 3500 chevy 4x5 dump. I wound up having to take the tanks out and trash them on both vehicles. I'd let them sit in an insulated shop with about a quarter tank of gas in both. Everything above the line of gas rusted like crazy. The smell of that old gas could start wars.

Get a big bag (or two) of the oil absorbent material and use it to absorb the gasoline. Once it is completely absorbed into the material you can dispose of it in the landfill since it will be considered a solid.
Your local Health Department may have a house hold hazardous collection site / day that you can take it to and have it disposed of for free.
