At the dump they'll have a Household Hazardous Material disposal site.

They take pretty much everything.

Call a mechanic and see what they would do?

A place by me had old chemicals and they used a box with sawdust to change it from a liquid form for some reason. Maybe so the dump would not charge as much.

Just add a few gallons (when the tank is almost full) at a time to a non-performance car and you should be OK.

Light it off with a match and you'll have a flamethrower.
