The solution to pollution is dilution. Mix it with good gas. A better choice

local fire department may be able to help. A fire training site may love the
free fuel.

ok........
it is technically not right and perhaps even illegal to sneak a cup of
gasoline into 5 gallons of used oil that will be recycled.
so don't do that !

what is your suggestion about getting rid of it ?
