    Question Dropping Aux. Fuel Tank

    Gonna probably end up dropping the aux. fuel tank in the Ford sometime this weekend, as that tank hasn't been used in 3 or more years and leaks from three of the four points where the two mounting brackets are attached....was wondering if anyone knew how/where I could dispose of the nasty ass gas in there when the job is done??? And also, if there's anything else I need to look out for while doing this.

    It aint so much that as I a) have no one's yard to dump it in and b) dont dislike anyone enough at the moment to kill their lawn.

    you have a garage spot - just park over one of the storm drains and let it rip - I know someone who used to do that.....not saying any names though...

    Hey come one now, that was only carb cleaner, and so what if we bled brakes straight onto the pavement. Anyways, if you need a driveway kate, you can use ours. I know how much of a pain in the ass it is to do stuff in those parking garages. Call first though - 694-2781

    she isnt in the parking garage... they made her take her truck out of there because it was leaking so bad... it was at my house for a while but now is at an apartment complex... i think we are gonna drop it on sunday... im not sure how much actually leaked out of it thus far but i think it had about 19 gallons in it. i dont think more than 5 or so have drained out of it. but if anyone actually knows of anywhere to take it, that would be great... hell if anyone just wants to syphon it and use it in their truck that would be fine too... Me and Austin already tried but the outcome was nothing but gassy taste in austin's mouth

    just mix it in with your used motor oil. then give it to austin and have him dispose of it. if you need soome used motor oil to mix it with I got some you can have.
