I need to drain my gas tank because its been sittin about 12 months now and i want to make sure its ok still. So i was wondering if anyone has done this on a 5th gen (97). Is there a plug on it or anything ive never really looked for it..... Any help would be great pics welcomed!

 

i know theres something in the trunk right behind the seat that you can take out and pump from there... but i dunno what you would pump it with lol

 

crawl under there and look?

 

i drive til it stops

 

i agree, lol

 

I know for a fact there is a drain plug on the gas tank...I'd just take a quick look around the bottom of the tank and see what you can find...

 

When you look at the trunk from the top, the drain plug is in the left lower corner of the gas tank.

 

^^ I need to do this, too, but I have a simple dumb question: Besides letting the gasoline spill on ground and lighting it for kicks, where are u supposed to take it to get disposed of?

 

you should just pour it on your driveway and then light it. ha ha

 

Take it to a garage or dealer and have them dispose of it correctly. Well, if there isn't much gas, you could drain it into an oil change pan or container and take it somewhere.

 

^^I work at garage, gotta see if I can mix it with the used oil tank, and knowing my boss he'd probably say to light it up anyway, so umm lol

 

Thanks for the help. I never really looked for it on the car and it is in my buddies shop so i could not crawl under it and look being dshop was close anyway thanks

 

if you live in canada..
go to canadian tire.. buy a manual gas pump (very high in demand during the black out period)
lol
its like a little pump with a long hose..
then just drain it into some gas tanks..
or you can go to some shop and get it drained...
shouldnt charge you much..
or if you live in the states go to american tire .. jks dunno what you guys have there.. but i guess a place like home depo should have it aswell

 

If you have a lawn mower use the access gas for the mower, 93 Octane.
