Draining fuel tank

[vroomapunk]

Yeah that would get heavy real fast, a full tank would be a bitch. Tuner seems like the best option

HPT has the fuel pump control. Perfectly safe to do, no need to run it dry as you said, just stop it with a couple of gallons left, low fuel light on, and the tank will be manageable. Gasoline is about 6.3 pounds per gallon.

Thanks all, as soon as I find the fuel connection tool I'll give it a shot with hpt.

Rev your engine until it burns through all the gas?

lol. HPT Scanner is working ok, 8 gals out so far. Have to stop to let the tank sock fill back up every few mins.

Once I get 10 gals out that's all the cans I have tonight. I'll burn it up in the DD then continue in a few days.

Here's how to siphon your tank if you have to

Part of the plan to address my P2135 code, and the start and die issue I am having was to get some or all of the old gas out of the car, and start with fresh premium and a touch of ISO HEAT for any water remaining in the tank, if any.

Followed "TLSTWIN's" procedure, and it works pretty good, and is a little work, but not all that difficult. Had less than 1/2 a tank of who knows what old fuel from years of adding new to previous year's fuel. Got 6 gal out, and that is prob most of the remaining gas sitting in the tank. Not sure if all of it is out given the gas is siphoned via the fill side and the tank is a saddle design. Better than nothing.

Process:
1. Pull Passenger Rear Tire.
2. Disconnect Fill tube rubber hose by removing the clamps, and pry it off with a little WD40 to help.
3, Stick your 3/8" fuel line from your own evac system and pump it out. Mine is a simple lawnmower battery, small fuel pump w/filter, and a switch.
4. Replace hose, tighten clamps, install wheel.

Done!

Some pics hear to show what I did.
