Just for non mixed fuel.
I'll agree with Drew, on 1 part of his post quote--"varnish your
carb" I agree. I'm not so sure about Drews's quote --" Today's
gasoline's go bad in 30 days." I own 5.4l mercruiser w/90 gal fuel
cap, also Correct Craft 302 w/20 gal cap. I've had old fuel in the
both 20 and 90 gallon tank stored over 9-to 12 months - aprox 45gals
or more in big tank.
If you ad "Fuel Stabilizer" along with some octane booster and of
coarse some new fuel mixed in should be ready to go. The best advice
is to RUN the motor frequently to move any varnishing on fuel Carb -
jets.
If I'm wrong please correct me or just feel sorry for me.

Harvey, Gould 0738's suggestion is the correct one. Even a gas/oil mix, when
added to your car's tank in small quantities, won't harm your car's engine
or fuel system.

Today's gasolines go bad in 30 days. Using gas any older than that will
varnish your carb/fuel system, and you really don't want that to happen.

om...
I just purchased a used boat with a 1995 Merc 70 hp, 3 cyl. 2 stroke
"Force" motor. The previous owner said that the gas (~ 17 gallons)
was about a year and a half old. I would like to siphon it out into 4
five gallon cans. Has anyone done this and where do you suggest I
dispose of it. Please be kind.... I know where I don't want to put
it. I contacted the local Air Force Base Fire Department to see if
they could use it to burn during a practice fire, but the local Air
Quality Management Department (AQMD) required them to install propane
burners and burn propane during fire practice.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
