Fuel Mixture What to do with old 2 stroke gas / oil mixture?

[shawnshank]

I run into this problem every year and I never know what to do with the 2 stroke mixture that has been left in my gas can over the winter. My city only has the chemical recycling thing once a year, I don;t own a lawnmower and jiffy lube wont take it. Does anyone know of some place that will take it. I live in Massachusetts.

Find someone with a gas burner, and give it to them. The little oil that is in the mix will never be noticed.

I have a friend who puts it in his car in the Fall when the tank is nearly full. It doesn't seem to hurt the car any, but I can't vouch for whether it will be okay in every engine. His is an older model Chevy with a 3.8 L V6.

Just put it in a fuel tank of fuel in your or buddy's car. The car won't know the difference and may actually run a bit better.

put in in the gas tank of someones car and let them burn it.
or use it to start a bonfire in your yard.
to be honest with you, I'd just run it in your bike. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it if it has only sat a few months. If it'll burn in someones car, it'll burn in your bike. Maybe mix up a new batch and add the old gas to the new mix.
I always add fuel stablilzer to all of my fuel (for my lawn tractor, weedeater, leaf blower, chainsaw, motorcycles, and bikes). That way the gas can sit all winter and still be fine.

I was thinking about running it in my bike but it stays out in a shed all winder and with the temperature changes, I can't imagine that it would be very good to run.

By the way, have you ever heard of a car owner putting Marvel Mystery Oil in the tank? I have, a whole quart. Cleaned out the combustion chamber, but smoked a little until the tank got down to 1/2, and filled the tank up.

Put it in your bike and run it. Nothing wrong with it.
