I would dispose of it
Nothing likes crappy fuel Harbor freight has a battery powered transfer pump for 10-15 bucks,you would have to pull the sending unit, but it would get the gas the pickup tube can t get |

I use old gas (it's really not that bad) in my lawnmower, rototiller, and pressure washer. Never had a problem with it. Just when you drain it let is settle for a day, then look at it carefully. If it's contaminated with water the water will settle out to the bottom. I would dispose of that gas. But if it's clear with no water in it and it smells like gas instead of turpentine it's probably safe to use, especially if mixed with fresh gas.

Pull the fuel sender, you can use a rigid piece of tubing and vacuum the bottom of the tank if need be. You can get a siphon going with just a primer bulb. If you are trying to go thru the fuel.pickup, it should have an anti siphon valve, so, guess what, ot won't siphon. I've got an electric fuel.pump hooked to a double atack of fuel filters for polishing or transferring fuel. If you run old fuel in you yard equipment make sure to run a decarbon additive. I found out the hard way with my generator

With the price of gas now you could probably sell the old stuff for $3 a gallon!

Step, I believe the gas is a year or two old. I can’t be sure, but better safe than sorry. Now that you ask that question…. I’m kind of wondering myself. Maybe I’ll run it in the tub this weekend and see how she runs.
