I don’t see why not. If your area has a disposal service that is best, but this is a alternative solution. I’ve done it with oil mixed with coolant, gasoline, etc…. I’m sure someone is smarter than me and will tell me why I’m wrong though. I’m up for a solution better than mine. I work on all my own equipment and always have RV antifreeze, coolant, and what not.

I live in a town in PA that doesn’t have any resource to take old gas or coolant. So I do it myself. Here’s my advice. Gasoline evaporates very quickly. Buy some bags of kitty litter, and contractor bags. Pour small amounts of gas into the kitty litter, let it evaporate, and repeat. Of course you want to do this in your yard in a place that has zero chance of kids playing or cigarette smokers. Throw it all in contractor bags and it goes to the landfill. Landfills are supposed to be properly lined to protect the environment, and if you use expensive contractor bags and double them up there’s a good chance your bags won’t even get punctured. I look at it like I can’t depend on a moron to do it so I’ll do it so it had a chance to not leech out into a water source.
