stale gasoline

All right then, use charcoal instead of kitty litter, and stick a hot dog on a coat hanger nearby.

What a place, the fire department concerned about a coffee can.

Fires and fire hazards have dropped significantly in the last few decades, yet we have more firemen than ever. They have nothing better to do than snoop around for coffee cans?

Scoffing is the mark of fools.

Yes, and Richard Kinch is the King of all scoffers. If the entire world says "up", Richard reflexively says "down". He also insists that drinking 8 glasses of WD40 each day is as healthful as drinking 8 glasses of water.

I don't recall saying that. When it comes to drinking solvents, water and ethanol are to be preferred.

Lets see a gallon stale todays value $1.79 $1.79 regular $1.85 mid grade = $.06

12 gallion tank 6 gallons regular= $10.74 or 1 gallon stale 5 gallons mid grade =$9.25 30 gallons x $.06 = $1.80 how big is your tank

Richtard, the only thing that exceeds your ignorance is your fragile, but gigantic ego. You have claimed repeatedly that water and WD40 are equally safe to drink. Please test this claim yourself as soon as possible. Don't worry about posting the results. We'll read all about it when you win the Darwin Awards.

Welllll...being that I fonly use a little 2.5 gallon gas can and that I wouldn't fill it up anywhere near the end of the summer, I reckon there should be about absolute worst case, uhhhhhh, maybe a gallon in there. A wash.

But, being the lone nature-be-damned Republican in these parts, let's just say I might employ the "scatter in the woods" method.

Treehuggers: save it. The Earth will survive my assault. And Junior Fire Marshall Wannabes can stow it too, the stuff will evaporate before I make it back to the comfort of my La-Z-Boy.

And

will

La-Z-Boy.

May your well be the first destination for your pollution.

with a gal. of Gas that he washed some paint brushes down with.

I just let paint thinner settle for a couple months, then decant it into another container for re-use. If I have enough used thinner, I just use fresh for the final rinse when cleaning brushes.

go down in the ground to kill all of them.

it will melt the plastic bucket after setting the gas on fire......

This is Turtle.

Try not lighting the gas and just put the bucket over the mound and gas them over nite. It will kill them all doing this. The vapors will go into the ground a gas them.

I usually pour it in the driveway cracks where plants are coming up, sort of a poor man's roundup.

Leave the record of my claims to NNTP and Google. They get it right. No one cares about your commentary.

Richard Kinch, world class scoffer, claims that WD-40 is as safe to drink as water. He can't deny it, and he can't hide from it.

Linsday Technical books has a pamphlet that will show you how to make a gasoline-powered stationary blowtorch...

You do know that when you kill off the grass with motor oil or gasoline it is fertilizing the ground for the new weeds or grass to help them grow better. Most all fertilizer is made from crude oil or used motor oil but they have to add some other stuff to make it real good stuff but gas or motor oil is a good fertilizer by it'self.

Dead wrong again, dirty pants. Last year I decided to employ the "Pour the old gasoline into an empty bucket and let God take care of it" method of suspect gas disposal. Five or six months passed before the bucket, which started with two inches of gas in it, was empty.

You missed the key word: Scatter. As in 'spread it out over a bi-i-i-i-g area. The surface area of your bucket was very small in comparison. For me, a drop here, a drop there...instant evap.
