Well, somebody in the thread mentioned using 5 gallons on one nest. I didnt have enough to make 5 gal for two nests. And Im of the school of thought...if it calls for a quart, give it a gallon.

Anaphylactic shock. I had them almost kill me. I don’t mess wit dem no mo. Have to carry around a dang injection now. that was 4 years ago. Had never had a reaction to a sting in 47 years.

Me too i almost died from 11 stings . Now i kill every yellow jacket nest i see just wait until dark when the bed down and kill those little bastards with gasoline no need to light it just pour it in the hole.

last year i was bush hogging some tall stuff and i saw a bunch of what i thought was grasshoppers flying (my eyes have gotten bad) then they started lighting me up. the problem was that i was at a corner on the fence line where i couldn't go forward and i had to be careful backing up. i probably took a dozen stings to my head and neck alone. no telling how many to my arms and torso. it was a huge nest. i went back and gassed them a few nights later. i keep bees and i stay pretty calm when i get stung but yellow jackets hurt way more than honeybees and i've got family members deathly allergic to them. i had some benadryl in the truck and i dry swallowed a couple of them just to be safe. i hate those bastards.

1\2 liter coke bottle full of gas .

Hard plastic transmission fluid funnel.

Find the hole ,insert the funnel, drop the gas open end down in the funnel a split second after it goes in the hole.

Leave it be till the next day.

Gas is NOT the way to do it. Pollute your yard.......sure you'll kill the wasps but there are cheap alternatives that work and don't pollute.

I wonder if you used some dry ice on the entrance and an overturned bucket to seal it up? Displace all the oxygen in the tubes

I think a couple of tablespoons each would have been plenty. Oh well...
