I have a 1/2 tank of gas in the car and need to drain it. Is there an easy way to do this?

I've seen the question pop up several times.
Answers always seem complicated to me. I found that you can simply unhook the supply hose just before the fuel filter under the battery tray and let gravity do its job. Opening the fuel filler cap helps a bit. When I did mine, I drained about 6 gallons of fuel. Took less than 30 minutes and used no electricity or fuel pumps. After that, I lifted up the tank, tilted it tward the drivers side and cut the lines on the bottom of the tank. Whole process wasn't that complicated and I didn't have to remove the front hood either. --- bill |
