How the hell do I drain the fuel tank? Is there some kind of drain plug at the bottom or do I have to use some kind of pump to get the fuel out?

Please any feedback would help

Thanks

 

plug

 

there is a plug...sometimes it is covered by a bunch of undercoating material...Just look for it--if you still can't find it check the FSM and it should tell u the location of the plug!

 

there is a plug, iirc it is a 12mm 6 point. Depending on how much fuel you have left and what you are using to catch it have a roll of paper towels and a fire extinguisher (just incase) at the ready. The plug is located in the center of the tank slightly towards the front of the car.

Thanks,

wish someone told me this ,before I dropped my fuel tank outta my car. :S

 

Back from the Dead LOL.
Car has 1/2 tank of fuel and has been sitting for a couple years. I will be draining it to install my Walbro but any ideas on how to clean the fuel tank or do I just drain it and fill her back up when done with installing the pump?

Anyone have a link with pictures on how to install a Walbro pump. I have the Manual but still dont understand it.

 

I would simply drain it and leave a gallon or two. Then when you put in a fresh tank it should be fine.

Thanks a bunch, as for installing the walbro I found some info with pics. I just wanted to make sure if I had to drop the tank to install the pump but I can do it with the tank on the car.

 

Would you or anyone else know the thread and pitch of the drain bolt?

 

Eastwood can hook U up with gas tank. rehab stuff.

 

Its larger. Maybe 14 or 17mm I forget. Make sure you replace the crush washer or it will be likely to leak. I drain these all the time as many customers have their cars sit for some time after they blow while they decide what to do with them.

 

Do you know the size and thread pitch of the drain bolt?

 

its a 14mm bolt for 2ed Gens. just drained mine yesterday. had about 11 gallons of 4+ year old gasoline... just need to work on getting that smell out of the garage now... haha, any ideas?

 

neg but my gas tank is empty... so i dont mind pulling it out and taking a pic/ counting threads... ill let you know tomorrow just shoot me a pm tomorrow so i remember

 

Thanks.
