Need to drain a Montana gas tank
Been on this site for a while & trust the advice, so I thought this would be a good place to ask.
Was going on a 4 hour road trip for Easter so I filled the 80 litre tank of my 2000 Montana minivan. Got about half hour out of town & it overheated & either blew the head gasket & cracked something. So I'm gonna but a new vehicle (the Camaro doesn't see rain) & I want to drain the tank. Is there an easy way of doing it? |

Disconnect fuel line from under hood , add a rubber fuel line to the end that line long enough to reach where ever you need.Then figure out how to hot wire the fuel pump.

If you can, drop the tank and take out the fuel pump hanger assembly and use a siphon pump to suck it all out. Or disconnect the fuel line and run the pump to pump the fuel into a bucket.

Most tanks in cars today have an anti syphoning valve in the fuel neck
