I would pour it into the clubhouse furnace, but if they get a fire 
within the next 5 years it will be due to that!!!!!!  Your Know it All 
is full of Bull $.......
I would pour it in my space heater .( Reddy Heater)..

I siphoned out all I could, then disconnected the fuel line at the injector pump and then ran the primary pump (electric) until all I got was air.  Then I swapped tanks and ran it again, long enough to flush the lines.  Hooked the line back up and fired up the engine, it stumbled for a few seconds then smoothed out and ran fine for a half hour or so while I finished what mowing I needed to do.

It's way too much to think of using to light up a brushpile, the resulting black smoke would be seen for miles.  Thought seriously of just adding it to the 275 gallon fuel tank for the clubhouse furnace.
