OLD GAS
Give it to someone you don't like, gas that old is not good for much of anything.
I would not put it in anything you use, caar bike, lawn mower and such. just get
rid of it.

I'm sure the old gas they made is still better than the new stuff . FREE GAS!!!
I think if I strain it through a sock it will keep the big chunks out of my spyder.

You're thinking of putting three year old gas in your $$,$$$ Spyder just to save $15? Do you have any idea how much it could cost you in repair bills?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no freakin way dude.

Should be smelling like varnish by now.

Bad move...even if it was stabilized. If it smells like varnish, discard it. If it smells like gasoline and contains no water, put it in your car or truck to mix with a fairly full tank of gas. JMHO

I'd vote for putting it in the lawnmower... unless you actually LIKE running your lawnmower!

Plus 1 on this. An old environmental engineering mantra is, "The solution to pollution is dillution."

And I just got done watching an episode of "Brain Games" where they discussed the Male Mind's inability to completely read and follow instructions...

Just put it in a nice red gas can and set it in your front yard close to the street and see how long it takes to come up missing.

I did that with a 100lb propane cylinder that had a broken valve, it was about 1/4 full, put the safety cap on it and left it out in the front yard at our cabin, came back the following weekend and it was gone! Hurray!

Hey Bob, love the Brain Games show. Had a few on the DVR and we watched them last night.
I did see the joke emoticon by the way.
