What is the best and safest way to dispose of the old petrol?

Engine oil tank at your local tip.

You jest surely? Can't see the council tip wanting their waste oil
tank being turned into a potential bomb.

How big is that tank? A litre or two of stale petrol in there is going
to make precisely bugger all difference.

I've taken old petrol down there before, and been told to pour it in
there.

Hmm, I'm not sure that your average council tip employee is trained in
hazard assessment.

SEP.


Still think it's a bit irresponsible suggesting it as a valid disposal
method. I don't believe for one moment that the oil collection tanks are
designed to contain a highly volatile explosive liquid. The greatest
danger being that no one would *expect* them to have petrol vapour in them.
