Hi JT and welcome to the forum.
Anytime we get bad gas be it two stroke or four stroke I burn it up in my Toyota T100.
If it's really in bad shape I strain it and burn a little at a time.
I have ran as much as 15 gallons of two stroke fuel in it at a time with only two or three gallons of regular.
I started doing it with about 50K on the truck and now I have 150K on it with no ill effects.
Don't want to throw the fuel away and it's a nice little benefit from parting bikes.

On a similar note, our oil is all given to another local bike shop who uses it in some new hi tech low emissions heater..
The only thing that we turn in is a little anti freeze which goes to a recycling center.
If bikes are for kids I'll never grow up.

Doesn't hurt your injectors or catalytic convertor?
That is crazy.
