Skymaster337B is an unknown quantity at this point
Now that AVGAS is $6/gallon, it is too expensive to throw away. The reality is the fuel you purchased meets the highest quality from the point of sale. It doesn't "go bad" just because it is in your fuel tank and pore it out. You may have noticed the fuel tester cups with small strainers so that you can simply just put that fuel back into the tank...and not on the ground (thanks EPA). Well, you can do the same thing while draining...just make sure you have a mesh screen that will filter any dirt.

On the other hand. Even though AVGAS is $6/gallon, it's still the cheapest thing in/on your airplane.
