depreciate the value over 3 years and see if you can sell it back to the arabs at a discounted price.

Re: What to do with 80 gals of gas

i hve 80 gals of three year old gas. what should i do with it?

Wow, too many jokes here to even know where to start with them...

If it were me, I'd put it in my old jeep and use it up for whatever it's worth.

Put a sign up on the grocery store bulletin board that says:​

Free gas-three years old-80 gallons. You pump it out.

It will be gone by the end of the day.​

It is probably still quite usable in yard equipment or other low compression 4 stroke applications.

If you don't have that sort of application for it try your neighbors. If their equipment can use it it sure beats $3 a gallon.

Re: What to do with 80 gals of gas

Reminds me of a funny story. A guy I met in the boat yard that was winterizing his boat was pumping about the same amount, 80 gallons, and was wanting to get rid of it. Funny thing was, it was only a month old. I tried to tell him that diluting it slightly (it was pre mixed) would not harm his car engine, although he wanted nothing to do with it. Gave me free gas for a while in the old winter beater ;)

Personally I'd mix it in slowly in my jeep and use it all up over time... as long as it was clean... mixed or not...

Although I agree with all of what has been said so far, if you do decide that you don't want to use it, donate the gas to you local fire training center. They will use it for training firemen in your area.

80gals of gas, contact fort knox and see if you can store it there, as it has more of a value than gold.
Really you can mix it with gas you have nwo and burn it, timewil not effect the octane rating just the other chemicals mixed in with the gas, a stabilizer and octane booster and you are up and running again.
Or donate it to your local fire department for training.

Take it to a gas station, ask them to dump it into their 10,000 gallon tank and get a free fill-up in exchange
