Re: [Amc-list] Disposing of gas, oil, brake fluid and coolant

Don't put antifreeze in your septic system! That will kill the bacteria 
in it and from what I understand, the tank will need to be completely 
cleaned out before you'll be able to get them to grow again. You'd think 
a big box of poo would be pretty immune to things but even being on 
massive doses of antibiotics can hurt the bacteria in it.
