Petrol disposal

I've just drained the tank as part of the refurbish and have about two gallons of petrol/water/rust mixture to dispose of. Anybody know what to do with it, can't imagine the local council being too enthusiastic!

My local council waste recycling depot has a huge tank for old engine oil. If there is one local to you, chuck it in there.

leave it exposed/venticalted but under cover (so rain cant top it up) - over a few weeks the fuel will evaporate leaving just the water and rust that can be washed down a drain.

Seen the results of this.....3rd degree burns are not nice. Use oil/ diesel to start fires NOT petrol
