That was a lot closer to the norm then. We would pour a bowl of carbon tet from a 5-gallon can to clean parts then toss it out onto the dead spot behind our work shed. That's also where all the used oil went. Just dug a little hole and poured it in. Sometimes we would pour it over the trash before we lit the burn barrel. Wooo, that was smoky!
