...getting rid of old gasoline?

I'd filter it and use it in the lawnmower. Boat 2/s oil is formulated differently from tool oil and can make a mess so you may not want to use it in a weed-wacker or chain saw.

When using gas to light a fire I pour a little at the bottom with the tinder and kindling. A dab will do you. Use a long match to light it if you can.

I know someone who was burning brush (in the winter fortunatly!) and spread a gallon under a large log. It did vaporise quite a bit and ignited with a perecptable WHUMP! His neighbor felt it inside his house apx 100 yards away and thought his furnace had malfunctionned.

Good luck!
