What to do with old gas?<br />This stuff is about 6 months old and does have some stabil in it<br />Should I just dump it, or is it safe to mix it with fresh gas on let's say a 50:50 basis?<br />This gas would be used in a '57 engine.<br />Thanks for any advice.

Re: Old gas,new gas.

I would mix it in my car/truck 5 gal at a time to make a full tank. Or lawn mower, weed eater, etc.<br /><br />Good luck!

Evinrude suggests disposing of gas over 180 days old. You are on the line and should weight the savings against the consequences.<br />I dispose of my old gas with an open 5 gallon bucket and let it evaporate.

Thank you gentlemen.<br />You helped me overcome my stingy side in favor of common sense and I really like the idea of letting it evaporate.<br />As for the C4. <br />Now that would be a waste of good explosives.
