I think I have a couple of tankfuls of dead 2-stroke gas that I would like to get rid of. Other than sneaking it into my neighbor's trash, how do I dispose of it?

Put it in your car and run it a bit at a time. Maybe 2 or 3 gallons with a fillup of the car. It will be fine...

Dilute it down and run it through a non injected car, no problem.<br /><br />Aldo

You can run it in ANY car like Rick said. I do it all the time blended at about 25% You won't even notice it. Mine is a 3 YO fuel injected Ford.

Yes to all the above. A gallon or so mixed with a fresh tank of gas in the car.

It makes for a great weed killer. Spray it on some weeds then set aflame. It's a great way to keep the young trees from sprouting up through your barbed wire fence. Just make sure your fenceposts are metal.

Ixnay on the eedWay illerKay Teeboy. I've spent a lot of my professional time and your tax dollars cleaning up gasoline spills in our groundwater. As said above dilute it and use it in your car/boat/lawnmover/RV.
