Where in the heck can we dispose of old gas? I've paid fuel polishing companies big bucks to remove it from larger tanks on boats but I need to get rid of a bunch of 5 gallon cans full...

So old it can't be used in mowers or something?

I'd check with them before dragging a bunch of cans up there. They have large tanks for accepting oil, cooking oil and anti-freeze, but none for gasoline.

It's bad. Buddy that is a mechanic at nearby marina told me "If you find a place to get rid of it..let me know!"

I've thought about getting a 250 gallon tank to store it in and pay the $$ to have the fuel tank cleaning outfit come down from Deale once in a while to empty it. But I hate to do that...had a tank with old gas stored in it fail due to rust some years ago and the stench was horrible for weeks afterward.

LOL...as I posted above: yeah..I'm aware of that occasional collection event. I'm looking for a place where I can take it now..today..tomorrow.

I end up with too much old gas due to all the boats and vehicles I work on. I have 14 or 15 5-gallon cans full now...and about 20 more gallons I need to pull out of an old boat tank now..immediately. Place is turning in to a hazmat site... :(

You can always do what the people that owned my house did, move and leave it for the next owner. Buttholes left me with about 10 gallons in cans and old lawn mowers that wouldn't start.
