What, you don't have a yahd?

Autozone takes used oil if you change your own. Might want to give them a call

I live in a town in PA that doesn’t have any resource to take old gas or coolant. So I do it myself. Here’s my advice. Gasoline evaporates very quickly. Buy some bags of kitty litter, and contractor bags. Pour small amounts of gas into the kitty litter, let it evaporate, and repeat. Of course you want to do this in your yard in a place that has zero chance of kids playing or cigarette smokers. Throw it all in contractor bags and it goes to the landfill. Landfills are supposed to be properly lined to protect the environment, and if you use expensive contractor bags and double them up there’s a good chance your bags won’t even get punctured. I look at it like I can’t depend on a moron to do it so I’ll do it so it had a chance to not leech out into a water source.

Can you do this with gas that is mixed with oil for a leaf blower?

Cut good gas with it heavily if a lawnmower etc. Lightly if a car like a qt per full tank

I don’t see why not. If your area has a disposal service that is best, but this is a alternative solution. I’ve done it with oil mixed with coolant, gasoline, etc…. I’m sure someone is smarter than me and will tell me why I’m wrong though. I’m up for a solution better than mine. I work on all my own equipment and always have RV antifreeze, coolant, and what not.

The cracker plant. I’m sure nobody will notice. /s

Pennsylvania Resources Council now runs hazardous household chemical and e-waste recycling for the City. They have household chemical collections coming up and take old fuel. There is a small fee, but it’s not too bad and you know it will properly disposed of that way.

Google says Autozone does not take gas or coolant.

I'm going to ask my mechanic the next time I see him

How bad is it? If it’s just a year or so old, it will still run ok in a lot of smaller engines like lawnmowers and snowblowers. I’ve never found anyone that will take it, at least not in my community. If you have a small amount you can pour it into a wide flat pan and let it evaporate. I don’t know what to do with larger amounts. If you find out let me know because I have about 40 gallons in my boat I need to get rid of.

they dont take old gas

Heck, I have 10 year old gas in a project car that'll still fire on the first crank. Unless it's shellac cut it with some fresh stuff and run it.

Put a gallon into an almost full tank until it's all used up.

If it's just a mowers worth dump it into a car, it will be fine. I wouldn't run a whole tank like that, but 1 gallon out of 20 won't matter. Modern engines recirc oil into the combustion chamber to maintain crankcase pressure anyway..next year, throw some stabil into it.

Just wait till the Steelers make you really happy or really mad and add that fuel to your porch couch and light a match. If you don’t have a porch couch just drag out the one in your living room, not the good living room that is for special occasions that rarely happen but the other living room. Just be careful to not ding up your screen door.

This is good advice. It's much, much worse to run gas without oil in an engine that requires mixed gas than it is to run mixed gas in an engine that runs on gasoline.
