I have 90 litres of 10-year-old unleaded. Can I use it in my car?
I have approximately 80-90 litres of unleaded petrol which is 10 to 12 years old. It is clean and stored in approved marine petrol tanks. Can I use it in my car or is there some way to recycle it?

That quantity in domestic storage is illegal, for a start. If it caused a fire you would be uninsured. I would not even contemplate using it in a modern engine. You need to dispose of the fuel correctly using a local recycling centre.
