The gas in my car has been sitting for about 6 months (last time it was started) any other ways to rid of it with out getting a mouth full of gas

 

you could drop the tank.

 

instead of using your mouth the start the vaccum, use a brake bleeder, or anything else that pulls a vaccum, or just use a clear piece of hose that's really long, and be careful

 

grab a long tube..
stick it in the tank..

take a air nozzel attached to air compressor
put nozzel outlet on top of hose.. pointing AWAY FROM HOSE OPENING

= is the hose


===========
NOZZEL--------->

wrap your hand around both openings..
after 20 secons or so.. gas should flow

 

The tank may have a drain plug.

 

remember to chew your gum AFTER you suck it out..

 

I know for a fact that the 88-91 cars have a drain plug Not 100% sure about a del sol, but I would think that they have one as well.

Both my Civics had it 92/00.

 

this is what i did, i dont know if its bad, but it worked, we disconnected the fuel line from i think where the fuel pressure gauge is, and made the hose longer then put the other end in a container, and you know when you put the key in and switch it to the 'on' position it is pressurizing the system? well we kept doing that and all the gas just came out through the hose into the container, until there wasnt that much coming out, then we just bought new gas with an octane booster and it worked fine. i tried to find a drain plug on my car...couldnt, maybe under all the plastic crap.

 

Kids, don't ever put automotive fluids in your mouth.. It's bad for you m'kay

 

Thats about the best Idea yet on this thread...Unless there is a drain plug. Let the fuel pump pump it out! Thats my homegirl!!! Say SUP to the crew fo me...

 

or you could just pull a vaccum with a brake bleeder, and it'd all come out!

 

a match or zippo

 

If the gas is just old, you can add fuel stabilizer to it. It has directions on how much to add to old gas after storage versus new gas before storing the car. If the gas was contaminated, consider removing the pump now to check the "sock" filter on the inlet. It could have a lot of crud in it.
