Hi guys. I know the topic of old gas has been discussed over and over, but in my searching I couldn't really find anything that answers my basic question... how old is "old"?
I recently moved some stuff out of the house that my ex kept when we got divorced. In the garage there was a sealed, 1/2 full, 2.5 gallon container of regular 87 octane gas that I used to use in the lawnmower. It's been sitting for 2 years at most. I'm guessing it's still good enough to pour into the tank of a car and use it up that way. Am I wrong?
The other is a 1/4 full, 2.5 gallon gallon container of mixed-with-oil gas that I used to us in the snowblower. It was mixed almost 2 years ago and somewhere along the way, my ex used it and never sealed the container. Could I top that off with some fresh gas mixed with the appropriate amount of oil and use it in something with a two-cycle engine? Or do I need to figure out a way to dispose of it properly?
