Its not free! If old gasoline (basically turns to varnish) plugs up your gas line, gas filter or causes mayhem with your carburetor, fuel injectors, etc., then its not worth the trouble! Also, if its pumped out of vehicle gas tank and into another metal tank, you risk contaminants (rust particles, etc.) getting into it.
Need gasoline to run vehicles, equipment, etc.? Buy fresh gas and save yourself time, money and prevent a headache. Cutting corners can cost you and used gasoline is not a good deal.
As far as storing and dispensing used gasoline, the fire codes (International Fire Code, etc.) that are routinely adopted, enacted and enforced by cities, etc. usually pertain, more than Federal rules. Nearly every jurisdiction (city, county, state, etc.) has enacted fire codes on the storage of gasoline. Ensuring storage tanks are properly grounded, vented, adequate shutoff valves, etc. are the rules of fire codes. Usually, EPA rules are for spilled gasoline incidents.
