I would think giving the gas away is reusing and recycling

I will see if I can find the official CFR for this situation but that's a little more digging than I can do, this afternoon. I did just do a RCRA training, last month, and this topic came up in discussion.

The operative word in the second line is "should." Not "will," not "must," not even "can." And the other technicality is that, unless you license and certify as a processor of a specific, regulated waste like gasoline, you aren't a "recycler." Filtering it is one thing; you can argue you are making a "product", which may or may not be regulated, as long as it meets spec for what the governing body defines as a fuel product of that type. But you can't eat a hamburger, spit it up in a bag, drain off the drool, and sell it again as a hamburger, generally speaking (I apologize for the crass simile but I was stumbling over what a reasonable comparison would be).
