I'm getting rid of my fuel oil furnace. Draining the tank I have about 80 or so gallons of red #2 with anti gel.

What to do? I've got one 55 gallon barrel full and every other small container I have. Still getting some out of the tank. :(
 
The above is a good suggestion. Two other options would be a local fuel delivery service (the guys that brought it), and the furnace guy that does installations.
You MIGHT even manage to get a credit for it.
 
Around here I can call whoever delivered it and they'll suck it out and provide a credit for it.
 
Almost no one provides a credit any more. If it's in a customers tank, we can’t guarantee what's in it. It gets recycled, not re-used and that costs money.

Give it to a farmer or someone else who heats with oil. If the tank was disturbed before/during draining It likely has sludge and particulate stirred into the oil and will need to be left to settle before someone uses it.

I hope you didn't switch to propane. If you did, I hope you pre-bought for the upcoming winter.
