What to do with old gas and oil?

I wouldn't want to burn it in anything, just pour it over a pile of wood somewhere or in a barrel light up a ball of paper or something heavier and chuck it in heh. Invite some friends around for a hobo barrel fire bbq.
 
no... never put injector cleaner with your 2 stroke mix. Im no chemist but I dont think detergents and lubricants should be mixed togather.

For the record... unless you ride very frequently, its easier to mix a small amount of fuel at time instead of a whole gallon or 5 gallon jug. I use a syrenge and a measured funnel with a valve I bought at autozone and pour it right in the tank. You can find very precise ratio calculators online that will tell you exactly how many ml of oil to gas.

I got tired of old stale gas sitting in my garage... its better for your bike too. You shouldnt let mixed gas sit for long periods of time.

Injector cleaners are used in diesels......
 
Just burn it or pour it on the ground and light it Dont be a **** hippy! If you really cared that much you wouldn't be riding a 2Smoke you would have a 5k 1speed like Kevin Bacon in Quicksilver and have a sweet spandex suit you dress up in so every one can see you smugglin grapes!
 
Better yet write your name in the street and light it!:whistle:

Or Best idea is to just put it in a can or jar and let it evaporate!

If you have a chain link fence it is good to edge it with old gas....kills weeds. Here in Texas I like to use old fuel on fire ant mounds. Or you could dispose of it in your communities hazardous wast pick up. Most have them atleast once a year (I keep missing ours so I have 5 Gallons of Paint that is slowly drying out for regular pick up).I have heard of disgruntled postal workers bottling it and giving it as a christmas present complete with flaming rag on the top, but I would not suggest that. It is just wrong.
 
If you aren't willing to burn it your MB then don't even think about your car.

I like the above suggestions, bonfire, weedkiller, ant and bee control are good.

I would check for water and contaminants, if clean cut it with a fresh gallon of gas and the appropriate amount of oil. A couple months shouldn't be a big issue.
 
In a pinch I've put 2 stroke mix in my 4 stroke lawn mower without a problem. If you try to put it in a modern car you'll f*** up the emission senors and have the check engine light on till you pay a shop to turn it off via computer. Find a friend with an old pickup and they'll be glad for some free gas.Please don't dump it on weeds or burn in an open fire it really pollutes a lot.
 
do diesels have an internal oiling system... or does the fuel act as a lubricant???

Most diesels have a dedicated pressurized oiling system. They do last a long time because they are often over built to handle the high compresion and combustion pressures. The rings and valves benefit because the fuel is essentially a light oil. (that's why diesels are referred to as "oil burners" by some)
