I have some old unleaded petrol that has been stood in a car in my garage for about 3 years.
It has gone yellow in colour.
Can I use it in my 2 litre injection car?
I have heard it dosant work as well, but worse it gums up the injectors.
I was thinking of adding a bit at a time to a tank of fresh petrol.
What do you think, and if I go the adding route in what proportions should I go for.

Check to see if the old fuel still catches fire. If it does, it might, or might not still be good to use...

I wouldn't try it.
The more-volatile compounds in the petrol will have evaporated, leaving only the less-volatile compunds. What you've effectively got in your garage is a half-way house between petrol and diesel - too volatile and too low lubricity for a diesel engine, not volatile enough and too viscous for a petrol engine.
I'd say find someone with oil-fired central heating, and add it to their heating fuel in the ratio of 1 litre of your goo to 100 litres or more of proper central heating fuel, and it shouldn't cause any problems.

Delhi is the capital city of India also referred to as New Delhi and domestically Dilli. Delhi is the key birth place for international tourists and you can be among this tourist; take a look with hotelbye . Among the areas many visited in Delhi could be the Bahai Temple. That Temple is based atop the Kalkaji Hill and it is also referred to as "The Lotus Temple" due to its distinctive lotus designed style in marble. Bahai Temple was built-in 1987 by the followers of Bahai faith. The Temple signifies the purity and equality of all religions. Yet another place to go to in Delhi is Gandhi Smiriti. In this memorial are displayed: images, sculptures, paintings, frescos, inscriptions on rocks and relics pertaining to the decades Mahatma Gandhi spent here. The meagre particular ramifications of Gandhiji too are cautiously preserved.

If it has sat in you garage for three years then throw it away
If it has sat still for that long then it will be no use in your engine as the crap that develops in the fuel with just clog your engine , Not worth the cost. If you are that cheap to wont to use it then you are in real trouble

Mixing it with new is a good idea. I would also filter it before putting it into my car, Course paper filter will do just to get out any debris, rust etc.

fuel actually spoils.
it attracts moisture for the air. if it does not have the consistency, color or smell of when you boght, get rid of it
most people have to get rid of fuel in their boats if unused after a few months.
