I have about 1 gallon of old (1 yr) gasoline that is mixed with 2 cycle oil... I have no more items that use this fuel.. How or where do I dispose of it legally? None of my neighbors have 2 stroke engines so no one to give it to..I live in the city so can't burn it, I won't pour it on ground, local hazmat facility won't take it, and fire dept has no clue.. How have you SAFELY disposed of old gasoline?

Ask a lawnmower/small engine repair shop Chain saw repairLandscapers They will take it OR possibly have a clue about getting rid of it

Just mix it in a little at a time with a fill of your vehicle. The very small amount of oil will simply burn away as an upper lube.

Most cities and counties in our state have hazardous waste disposal methods for citizens. I’ll bet Washington does too.

You may be right but I wouldn’t pour old gasoline much less mixed with any oil into my Tahoe’s gas tank. No way.

I would put it in a mower or other small engine. At work, we frequently run out of regular gas for our mowers and in a pinch I have used pre-mixed 2 cycle gas to get by.

I mix year old gas (w/Stabil) into one of our cars 1 5 gallon can at a time with no issues. This is our emergency gas supply for our home generator. When it gets a year old then I replace it. Have 2 5 gallon gas cans and 3 gallons in the generator tank.

I will then fill up the car gas tank full to dilute the old gas.

I'd shake it up and mix it good, put in my vehicle and run it. I've run 5 year old gasoline before, no biggie. Just don't fill the tank with it. :) And double check for any water in it. One gallon in 20 gallons you'll be fine.
