Odd question... (87 TII)

Say one needed to remove all the gasoline from the tank. How would you go about doing it? I'm guessing there is probably an anti-siphoning device on the filler neck.

The best idea I've come up with is to get to the fuel-pump access, remove the feed and return lines and connect a length of hose from the feed to a bucket...

Then click the key to 'on'.

Any thoughts?

theres a bolt on the bottum of the tank on the passengers side...loosen it and out comes the gas beware theres always more gas then you think.

Sounds like a good way to let your pump run dry and cause unnecessary wear to it when there already exists a gas tank drain plug.

Hmm, now what to do with 12+ gallons of worthless gasoline.

I had done a Walbro install and at the same time I used a siphon technique to remove half the gas.(87 and now my TII will need 91).

I used a long hose and a glass of water.

Suck water into the hose so you can start the siphon without sucking gas.

Clamp it shut and route the hose down to a bucket.

Remove the clamp and sit there until it's done.

Now fill a soda can up with gas light it on fire and kick it down your street! Fun for everyone!
