Is it that bad that it is not good anymore, maybe get a can of octane boost and add to and use it in a lawnmower or something.

you don't want to burn it unless you would like to be toated as well.

Thats what I was thinking. Lawn mowers will burn just about anything. Will probably smoke a lot. Run of the miskitos as you mow the grass.

Is it really that old? I don't know how to properly dispose of it, but I would try and give it to a lawn mowing service or somthing, gasoline is like gold nowadays

You don't have to get rid of it. You can put a couple of gallons at a time in your vehicle and it will burn it just fine.

hey alpha i have disposed old gas at a local outboard repair shop, i don't know if they would do it for anyone or for nothing but it maybe worth a shot, 20gal is a lot to deal with, you may have to drop your boat off and pay the shop to dispose of it, or find you a 55gal drum to siphon it into and then find someone who can dispose of it

Yep a gallon per fill up in your truck or burn I in your law mower. Of course you have to. Ut 20 gal worth of gas cans so that's a bummer.

Call local lube shop, they have a truck that comes around to collect burnt motor oil, they should be able to point you in the correct direction. Or call the landfill they used to have one day a year they would take old paint, oil, and tires. Not sure about gas.

Bodin Oil Recovery in Abbeville will take it and probably even give you $1.00/1.35 gallon for it.
