You could also run the gas tank down to about 1 gallon. Add a gallon of
"Denatured Alcohol" from your local big box store. Immediately go test
your emissions. Then refill your tank with whatever quality gasoline you
prefer to run.
However...you'll be much better off fixing whatever problem is causing you
to fail emissions.
