I have 80 litres of old fuel in a plastic garbage bin behind my garage. How and where do I get rid of it?

Burn it, have a party, invite the neighbors. I wouldnt recommend cooking over it but hey its your body do as you please. 80L shout burn awhile might want to consider a different container then a plastic garbage bin, maybe a dumpster or some kind of other steel container.

good lucky

How old is it? Burn it in the lawn mower come summer or mix it with 1/2 a tank of fresh fuel in your car or truck.

Most bulk fuel delears have used oil and used fuel containers. Call them up and asked.
Generally no charge for disposal at the bulk station.

Call your local fire house. They should be able to give you the info you need.

Or burn symbols into your lawn with it. That would be cool. :cool: :p Maybe like.... (.)(.)

Definitely take pics if you do this ^^^^ LOL

When the fire dept shows up to put out the grass fire, ask them to take the rest of the fuel back to the station with them (since they are headed that way and all...). Diposal problem solved.

Strap to the back of a ATV. Drive down the road while buddy stabs a hole in it. Once empty, stop a distance away.
Crack open a beer and throw a match.

Make sure ya video it for us.

If anyone asks Q's, tell them you saw the devil come out of the ground, leaving a flaming row where the earth split.

I too would vote raging fire. Grab some beers, the neighbours and some wood. 80 litres would make for one hell of a fireball.
