I finally have a little time to work on my 01 accord and was going to drain the 3+ year old gas from the tank. I have it up on jack stands and have search all exposed sides and the bottom of the tank and can not find a drain. The car has 3/4 of a tank of old gas in it I need to get out. Please don't tell me there is no drain on a 01. At the end of the day I have to put the car back on the ground so if there is a drain would like to find it before then. Any help is appreciated.

 

I looked again and am almost certain there is no drain on the tank. How else can I get the gas out?

 

sounds like you're going to have to use a pump of some sort

 

Use the fuel pump

Disconnect the fuel feed line - pick your spot. Set it so you can "catch" the gas. Hot wire the fuel pump.......done. Of course don't run the pump dry for very long.

Done

 

After looking at it yesterday afternoon I think I am going to go in from the top of the tank by pulling the fuel pump out. Then I should be able to get the gas out with one of those cheap hand siphon pumps. It might take me awhile because there is at least 10 gallons in there. That way I do not have to worry about running the cars fuel pump dry or the possibility of clogging the screen. Just wonder how I am going to get rid of 10 gallons of 3 year old gas.

 

How did you do this? I have a lot of water in the tank and need to drain it. How do you get to the top of the tank?

 

Access cover in the trunk.... but instead of disturbing the fuel pump why not buy 10 ft of vinyl tubing (4 bucks) at home depot and siphon the water out.
