Default Old gas

I have drained 7 gallons of 6 year old gas into two gas cans. Now what do I do with it? Safe way of disposal? What do you guys do with it?

Also I think I am getting no fuel to my engine. Drained the gas to see if that was it and possibly my plugs are fouled though I did check the number one and it sparked.

The gas I drained looked not to bad or dirty but certainly yellowed or tinged so I am hoping fresh gas and 4 new plugs might bring it back to life. It died suddenly during a test drive after 7 years of sitting. Timing belt is still working and I have spark so what can it be? Don't think Fuel filter could be clogged. Is there a place to disconnect the fuel line at the motor to see if it is pumping gas?

After cranking 20 seconds with pedal on the floor I pulled the #1 plug and it looked dry. It should have been wet.

I have a NA stock 86.5 5speed any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
