    How to get rid of old boat gas?

    Bought an ancient trashed HiggsCraft boat with inboard motor, for the trailer (rolling deer blind thread to come in the DIY section)...chopped up the boat, scrap guy came and got the motor / outdrive, but wouldn’t take the stainless fuel tank. By my calculation it has close to 7 gallons in it (base is 15” x 16”, gas is about 6-7” deep).

    I’m thinking drain it into a couple of containers and use it to torch a few brush piles next time it rains? Other helpful suggestions?

    In Houston we have environmental service centers that take stuff like that old paint pesticides ect.
    I don't know if you have an option like that.

      It may be so old it won’t burn.

        Might not burn like the best but I bet it will still burn

        That is what I would do with it

          That would work great on an old rat rod, if you were closer I'd take it.

                Lighter fluid for the fire pit.

                  Put it in an old gas jug and leave it out for the gas jug thieves.

                          Haha great idea. If its not much I've got a used oil bucket I will put it in, open air it will evaporate eventually but if you've got gallons of it
