I just rebuilt my engine, and remembered before i parked it that it had a full tank of gas, that gas is about 11 months old, and havent got a clue as to how to drain it, i dont want to drop the tank, as i am physically limited so im trying to spend as least amount of time on the floor as possible as i have no lift

 

Cool story, so whats the technical question?

 

Uh, theres a drain plug. Find it.

 

the EG civics do have a gas drain bolt. Or do like I did and connect the output of the fuel pump to a appropriate container and override the main relay so the pump is always running with ignition on.

 

Or you can get a manual siphon pump for 20-30 bucks and just do the transfer yourself from the access plate under the rear seat.

Then you know the drain bolt is still sealed.

Here is 3 options I found at walmart.com the first one being the best suited for the application.

FLO N'GO 08339 Fuel Transfer Pump, 1 gpm - Walmart.com

Kerosene Pump, Manual Operation - Walmart.com

Mityvac MV7241 Fluid Transfer Pump - Walmart.com

 

Or just syphon it out of the tank with a hose. Or just use it. 11 months isn't that old for normal gas. If it was race gas or E85, that would be a different story, but 87? Pfft.

 

im with narc. have gotten cars that sat for 2-3 years running on "old" gas. if the tank was actually full, that is to your benefit. cuts down on moisture.

 

87? pfft...

fuel pumps are for chumps, manual syphoning for the pro's.
