Why is it bad to pur gas down the drain?

Question

just wondering if its bad and what can happen?

Answer 1

Explosion, Comtamination, kills good bacteria, etc.  You never ever mess around with gas.  

Answer 2

Yes, it's bad.

you would be replacing some or all of the water in the lines with gasoline, which is explosive.  That alone should be enough.  It can stay intact enough inside the trap of your sink, inside the pipes under your house all the way to the waste treatment station to be a hazard for you, your family and the workers at the plant.

Environmentally, gasoline does not belong in the waste water system.  It can and does destroy the bugs in the waste that eventually break the waste down into better stuff.  

run the gas through your car.  If it's old, put a little in at a time.  It won't hurt the car.

Answer 3

If you get a spark your whole drain system will go up in a roaring explosion and take the house and maybe even the entire neighborhood with it. The fumes spread rapidly throughout the drainage system so when it explodes the whole blooming system goes. A real bomb.

Answer 4

hello? contamination of ground water. bad ethics!!!!

Answer 5

If sewage drain

It creates a vapour that can cause explosions.

Treatment plants treat sewage not spirits.

If Stormdrain.

Creates vapour which can cause explosion. All it may take is an earthing spark from a car parked over a storm sump on road.

Storm water generally goes to open waterways like streams, creeks, rivers and lakes. Just adds more c**p to the polution we already fill our water ways with.

Answer 6

Contamination of water! Duh, don't do that.

Answer 7

Didn't you see "Christmas Vacation" the same as dumping sewage.
