take it to a mechanics shop. When I worked on cars they had a tank for oil changes and they would put oil or gas in there and it would be pumped and recycled.


Call a few places and see if they will take it. They might charge you something but they should take it.

1.5 years? Not mixed?
add a small amount to your car every now and then, burn it off.

Yep

Option #2 - I had a similar issue last year with fuel which had premix in it - about 60 gallons or so. This place id for RI residents - not sure if you are in RI or if not, what equivalency there is in your state
