can anybody show the steps on how to drain the fuel from the gas tank? i searched and didnt see any articles on how to do it. just wanna know the steps to make sure i dont cause a spark and make it go boom. tank is full also

 

This is pretty easy..

First, get clear plastic (soft) tubing, about 6 feet and suck on the one end while the gas cap is off of your car and the other end of the tubing is inserted into the gas tank (where you fill up with gas) until you see the gas coming towards your face. Right before it gets to the end of the hose, put it into a 5 gallon bucket or the appropriate sized container and it will start emptying out into your container.

If you get any gas in your mouth, obviously spit it out and rinse your mouse out thoroughly.

 

drain plug under the gas tank...

i dont think you would if you stick it right into the liquidand make sure it stays in there

 

i've done it..there is a 17 or 19 mm bolt on the gas tank...just be careful though because once you loosen it gas is going to start pouring everywhere..so have a bucket or something ready

 

1. Jack up the car.
2. Get your *** under the vehicle.
3. Look for a plug, there is only one and its not very hard to see.
4. Stick a bucket under it and drain.
5. Have a couple buckets, its going to be more than 10 gallons. The tanks capacity is more than 10 but you will leave some in there.
6. Congratulate your self on being so observant on finding the plug.

 

Nice! I'm dropping my tank Mon/Tues. The car has been apart since Jan. I think there is only 1/4 tank in there, but not really sure, lol. Glad to hear there is a drain plug. I'll take pics for you guys who want to see

 

be careful with the plug too it will strip if its weathered... learned from past experiance.
