    Default Gasoline disposal?

    I've got about a gallon of regular unleaded with 2 stroke oil premixed 40:1 left over from my old weedeater. I bought a 4 stroke weedeater last summer, and I don't need this stuff (or the can it is in) any more.

    How can I properly dispose of it?

    I'd just give it to some one with an older vehicle.
    It would be like running marvel oil, I would think.

    Leave it in your front yard. Now days I'm sure someone would be happy to steal it.

    Seriously though, up here in McKinney we can call the city and they will come pick up "hazardous" material such as oil, gas, pesticides, paint, etc... might call your city and see what they say.

    My weed eater uses that stuff. Give it to me.

    I use my 1948 Ferguson to dispose of old gasoline. That old thing will run on just about anything.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Come and pick it up and it's yours. Since I'm such a nice guy, you can keep the can it comes in.
