2 year old gas? Not sure if it will still be good. You could try mixing it with other gas and see if it works. I wouldn't just dump it all in your car. If you have a lawn mower you could try it in that first.
Get fuel that works for what you have. I don't know what you have. I get regular octane gas. That works in my stuff.

I like Jerry Cans. These are very affordable.
You can easily spend $100 a can for higher quality cans but I think these are better than most plastic cans. I do have some plastic cans because I was able to get them for free. Over time I plan to phase them out but they hold gas. I have also bought old metal jerry cans I've found in thrift stores, yard sales, and antique stores but you have to make sure they don't have rust. I would say buy one and try it out. How do you like it?
Good question. I'm always learning but be careful that you don't over think it. It can be easy to not do something because you are still figuring out how to do it perfectly.
One of these fuel siphons is also good to have. I can't find the one i have but it looks like this one.
