    I just bought a 2008 Tundra for 2500 from a family friend that he rear-ended someone in
    He was barely doing 25 miles an hour.
    It has a half tank of ear old gas.
    What's my best option to deal with this?

    Fill it with fresh gas and send it.

    Welcome from NY.

    Put some dry gas in it fill it up with high octane gas and run it down to 1/4 tank repeat and then change the fuel filter.
    I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you are really worried about running it drain the tank.
    My Camaro’s sit for 6 +/- months with a full tank of gas, the only thing different is that I add fuel stabilizer before I park them.

    Use old gas to burn old tires.
    It's an eco-friendly solution.
