[s-cars] NAC (other than my S6 is in the barn) How do I SAFELYdispose of a gas tank?

[Robert Rossato]

Larry,

I usually just pour it into a large pan a little at a time and let it
evaporate outside on nice sunny days.  Depending on how much you have,
the size of the pan you use, and weather conditions it might take you a
week or two to get rid of it all.  Obviously a large shallow pan, like
an aluminum pizza pan would be best to promote evaporation.

But then again, if you have a large back yard, and you're not looking to
save the container, a well placed match ought do the trick ;-)
