Besides, it's a better method to clean out your tank so injectors won't have chance to get small particle stuck and more work for you.

It would be hard to syphon your gas anyways, because there are 2 little butterfly valve/door things in your filler neck going to the gas tank. So if you could get the hose in (it would be a small one), you would most likely have some trouble getting it back out.

Hey Kai
If you live in fairfax, they take bad gas at the fairfax recycling center. I had a bunch of **** gas from an old first gen I'm working on and the guys at the center took it no questions asked. First decent thing I've found in this shitty *** area.
