This is called siphoning. The gasoline-filled tube, when the end that is not in the gas tank is lowered to a point below the tank, it creates a pressure differential inside the tube. Just as liquid pours from a glass when it is tilted, so does the gasoline flow through the tube. As long as the tube in the tank is below the level of gasoline in the tank, the gasoline will continue to flow until the flow is interrupted (or until the tank is empty).

If plastic, it needs to be made obviously unusable, by crushing or cutting. Ideally it should then be placed into the recyclables. Another option is to locate a large industrial receptacle into which it can be placed. Some companies have a "collect all, sort later" arrangement with their disposal contractors.
When a mechanic wants to empty the gasoline tank of a car he fills a plastic tube with gasolime and dips one end of the tube into the tank He puts the other end into an empty container which is placed?
It'll have to be at a lower level than the car's gas tank, although, in reality, he would have to remove the fuel tank, disconnect the neck (as modern cars come with an anti-siphon neck), and either place the fuel tank at a higher point than the receptacle, or else use a vacuum pump (with diesel fuel, it's fine to use an electric one, and that's what we do at my shop.. gasoline is much more volatile, though).
What happens when diesel fuel is placed in a gasoline tractor engine?
It won't run, that's for sure. Diesel is ignited by compression pressure, not by spark. And the compression in a gasoline engine is not sufficient to ignite the diesel.
