I don't know what you guys are so worried about. As long as it's not race gas I would run it in just about anything that is stock. You're grocery getter, lawnmower, atv, anything low compression. If you were here I'd take it off your hands and put it right into my civic. You only have to be careful with the race gas because of the lead content.

 Oh hell no ;)  But to let you know what I have been doing.... Just before my first trip this season to Blythe, I had about 4 gallons in  each of fuel in my tanks (10 gal tanks) I put half a bottle of octane booster in each tank, toped it off with prremium gas, and when I dropped her in, she fired right up, with NO hiccups at all, and ran tits. I have been doing this every season actually, and I dont use race gas. You having race gas, I think, You are at an advantage to use it. I definately see your  point, that it is NOT your boat. Just my .02 Brad

Yah, I ran atleast 30 gallons from my boats from last season or outta the flatty that was 2 years old in our cars. Id just add 5 gallons per fillup at a time. Thats in my efi yota, carbed yota, and my moms escalade. Never a problem with any of em!

You can turn in bad gas at most haz waste recycling sites, but some/most of them are under regs to not dump it out of your container so you have to be prepared to leave the container too. (Guess somebody musta died pouring bad gas so now common sense no longer works as usual...)

LOL! Only burned up ONE orange tree with Moo's old gas!  ;D  Second one is nervous as hell, but yeah, where I'm at? I'd have no problem burning a few gallons at a time. Brads got plenty of room to pull the same stunt. I was tactical with it. Fireants? what are those???????  :sly:

Do a search for enviromental companys or petroleum contractors that install fuel tanks at gas stations. I build gas stations in Fl and use enviromental companys to dispose of old gas when we remove the fuel tanks, they charge around .20 to .30 cents a gallon.
