Pouring petroleum products on the ground is what is generally known as a "HAZMAT SPILL" and requires EPA reporting, remediation of soils and watersheds, etc. Even in Texas it is banned by the TCEQ, which as with most Texas regulatory agencies exists primarily to prevent any regulations from being promulgated or enforced. Edit: Just want to add, a single gallon of diesel fuel spilled can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water in a reservoir, stream, or aquifer. It's not a great idea.
