Looking to change my fuel filters soon. Where do you all take your drained fuel when complete. Our recycling centers here don't take it and looks like the part stores don't either.
Used Diesel

I use it to start my burn barrel! Diesel = good fire starter.

Mosquito control.
Burn pile
Put the diesel in a sprayer and spray into the flow of a leaf blower. The pile will real hot quick.
If you can’t burn it, mix it with the 3 gallons of oil from an oil change. Then recycle the oil.
If your city or county has a HHW (household hazardous waste) facility they should take it
I dump it in my 5 gallon pale of used oil and take it all to the recycler.

you live in Waco ,TX you have got to have a way to burn it
this is what I assumed everyone did, dump it in with the waste oil change oil and send it to the recycler. I guess you could dump it in the used oil container at advance auto too
Give it to my neighbor to use in his duramax...
I’ve been doing it that way for 20 plus years, there is a small mom and pop oil service place near me that takes used oil. Years ago I asked him, he said as long as antifreeze isn’t mixed in and it’s all oil products then it’s good to go. I don’t see the big deal of adding a bit of diesel to several gallons of used oil. After all, there’s some fuel dilution in the oil anyway
On a side note, there’s guys at advanced auto state on,y motor oil.
That’s pretty common, the city I work for, the maintenance side uses used oil to heat their shop. Around here, most used oil is either used for road tar mix or heat.

For some reason our county doesn't have an HHW.

Might be a good excuse to make a fire pit. Buddy from work lives in the sticks. He said I could bring it to his wood pile.

Oh yeah, try clearing and grading companies too. They use diesel to start their burn piles
