How to get rid of an old gas tank

[beardking]

While working to get my 68 Mustang back on the road I came to realize that my gas tank had seen better days. Since a brand spanking new one with a new sender was less than $150, I decided to just yank the old one out and put in a new one. Problem is, this left me with an old, rusty and VERY smelly tank just sitting around my house that the trash dudes wouldn't take. So, what should I do with out? Well, go full on redneck of course.

Wad it up and cover in tape per regs in our area and just throw into the trash.

Well, now that it has a large ventilation hole in it, put it in the scrap metal pile & you can haul it to the scrap yard when you get enough metal to make a truck load. You will get a little bit of money out of it that way.

Take it to just about any auto scrap yard and give it to them. They will throw it on their scrap pile.

With steel a roughly 4 cents/100 pounds, it's not worth taking it yourself.

Dang, I didn't know the price was that low.
It's been a while since I've taken scrap steel to the scrap yard.

Scrap iron dealers are just stockpiling right now waiting on prices to go up.

Well, seeing as how the price of scrap steel is so low, I just decided to put 1/2 pound of tannerite and blow it up and leave it at my friend's dump. [emoji38]

Bury it. I've buried different things in my life-no bodies yet...
