Check with the Taylor County Public Works Dept. or your local boat dealer (Jack's).

Gas or any other chemicals dumped on the ground, weeds, etc. will end up eventually in the aquifer and bay.

Normally, I wouldn't be too quick to be give anti-environmental advice, but with it so cold right now I think we all need to do our part for global warming -- the oil/gas mix works well for tree stump burning! Or at least that's what I've heard... ;-)
