How do you get rid of old gas and cleaning the gas lines.

OK, no fart jokes pleases. 

With that being said, I am getting close to getting the old gas out of the Road Runner and after I get it out, what do I do with it? Gas is 8 + years old.

Any tips on blowing out the fuel line?

  I turned in 7-8 year old fuel to the County for disposal. It cost me 3 gas cans as I dropped it all off and was not even attempting to recover the "cans". I flushed all lines with new fuel with a cheap Harbor Freight sucker thing that looked like a grease gun sort of before draining the tank. By hooking a new hose fed from a new gas can with a gallon of gas in it I pulled new fuel up to the fuel pump feed. Discharging the sucker into a clean container let me check for any crap. The tank was drained mostly and then removed for complete empty. I washed the inside of the tank with "Dawn", flushed and let dry for 2 days. It all worked fine after. The sucker again came it handy when just before first start I used it to prime the lines all the way from the tank to the pump.

I put it in old milk jugs and use it up when I burn stuff.

Old gas makes good weed killer too if you put it in a sprayer.

Put in milk jugs, write FREE TO GOOD HOME, and put them in front of an O'Rileys auto parts front doors after hours...

I cleaned my fuel lines with carb cleaner. Blow through the line with air than spray carb cleaner and let set for a bit and blow that out.
