Question Gas Tank Draining

OK, I've looked throught the archive and first gen sections, no one mentioned what the hell you do with the old gas you just drained from the tank. How do you dispose of it???? How can you tell if it is still OK?

Old gas has a stale smell to it,

If you drained it dont even put it back in,Put some fresh gas,and flush it through the system first before running the car...disconnect the fuel line to the carb and hold a cup next to it and have someone just turn the key to the on position.

Check your local EPA to see about the old gas,I wouldnt want you to get in trouble.Like making them Moltavoc Cocktails or what ever thier called.

I put it in a portable tank.
When my landscaper showed up, I offered to fill all his motorized lawnmowers for free.

Cuz Iam so nice.

The leftovers went in the Sea-Doo.
