Normally, dump it in the truck, but I can get away with a lot, my truck is a 1996 Dodge.

Dump it in anything carbed / low performance.  Lawn mowers, old trucks, Fords...

Pour it in the gutter while your neighbor is washing his car.

Pour it in the gutter while your neighbor is washing his car. Then light it

It goes right into the car/truck, never had an issue. Waste not-want not.

The straight gas yes. I put premix in my Toyota truck one time, it clogged the fuel filter  :? The lawn mower doesn't care but I use about 2 oz of fuel a month mowing the lawn, I don't need a 10 year supply  :lol:

Interesting; I have never had pre-mix do that. You could save it as a cleaning solvent. I used to use gas to clean everything when it cost pennies per gallon.  :lol:

Parts cleaner/weed killer looking like a good option. I don't want to dump gallons of gas in my yard though, a little sure, but gallons... no  :lol:

Put 1 gallon of gas in 4 gallons of oil and take it to a Recycling center. All oil has fuel in it.

Put it in a five gallon bucket with the lid popped up on half of it and it'll be gone in a year. Put it in a safe (open air) location.

I wound up pouring it in the Tundra, I filled up, drove about 40 miles, poured it in (about 2-1/2 gallons) drove about 100 miles and filled up again. So far so good, almost seems to run better ?  :lol:

so "a friend of mine" dumped a whole bunch of old gas in the gutter while working on something late at night thinking the majority of it would dissipate before morning and wold clean the gutter in the process. Note, it never reached the storm drain for you tree huggers. but anyways I woke up the next morning and due to the over cast skies it was still there  :shock: by noon it had disapated, but left a nice stain in front of my neighbors house that I ended up spending a few hours with Purple Power, kitty litter, and a wire brush removing  :lol: Moral of the story, dump dirty gas down the storm drain! no evidence  :lol:

Not dumping toxic substances into our environment does not make one a "tree hugger", just a decent person.

Ever hear of "Animal Camp" ?   Several years ago we went over there on new years. They had built about a 30 foot high tower out of pallets and big wooden wire spools etc, then stuffed the center full of Christmas trees, poured 5 gallons of gas on it and lit the fuker. After it fell and was a sea of embers some numbskull decided to run through it and faceplanted halfway through, last I heard he never regained the use of his hands. Another time some of the "young adults" we were with had sobe bomb #12 or something explode in the fire, I woke up, ran outside naked and saw multiple softball size fires burning under my old motorhome, I freaked, the teenagers scattered, and we moved a mile away at 2 in the morning. We don't really play with fire anymore, were just no damn fun at all  :lol:
