Any place that takes old paint should take fuel. Ultimately, it's burned in cement kilns, or used to boil water to turn turbines. The tough stuff to get rid of are the chlorinated hydrocarbons like chlroform, methylene chloride and pesticides.
I was a chemist at a private lab that had contracts with oil companies, engine manufacturers and engine component manufacturers, and the Federal Government.
Later I went into clinical chemistry and then organic chemistry. About 8 years ago I made a radical career change. Now chemistry is just a hobby. (extracting essential oils from plants, making environmentally friendly pesticides and wood preservatives, making soap and a couple other Skunkworks Projects and keeping up with current research).
