Hi,5lb, 40 yo tank of FE1301 (Halon)? Estate Sale find.... PO built experimental aircraft.
A casual search of how to dispose of it doesn't reveal much.
(Stash it under the tractor shed?)

I was joking around about stashing it under the tractor shed.
I remember the large systems in computer rooms way back when, but never paid any attention to them other then they were Halon and if the system activated, get your arse out of there Fast.
Phosgene is COCl2. Halon 1301 is CF3Br (there are a bunch of different kinds of Halon--see wikipedia below). There is no chlorine in Halon 1301, thus it cannot turn into phosgene. Period.Hi,
Halon gas has been banned for about 18-years at sea
It distroys the ozone,
Don't put it under your house, if it burns, it turns into phosgene gas ( known as mustard gas in the First World War)
It should be disposed of correctly,,,,,by licensed contractors
That's a good idea, too.Call the local fire dept. The will advise you on what to do.
