Draining the fuel tank .. help asap ..

[90civicrider]

I need to get rid of some gas from my fuel tank for this car show tomorrow. Need's to be less than a 1/4, and it's almost full

I already tried cruisin for like 2 hours.. gave that up because the neddle wasent moving at all.
Does anyway have a solution ??? please i have to get this done by tomorrow night...

Yea I know, some little shit heads put sugar in my gas tank and I had to get it out before I swap the new motor (Those little fuckers) all you do is disconect the fuel line hook it up to a long hose get yourself as bucket and turn the car in the on position. This moves fuel quite fast... You will be sureprized what that little stock in tank pump can do!

I still gotta drop my tank and scrub it

[HONDABOND]

Oh, a side note... DO NOT TURN ON THE MOTOR. just turn the key to the on position. I figure you got that but wanted to make sure.

Where is the line I have to disconnect ?

I also looked and found a 12mm bolt on the drivers side near the rear of the tank.

Possible drain plug??

boot it down the highway at 5000 rpm for as long as you need... that should help alot... are you goin to North of the Border? i might see you there

Man, he's in Alberta.



BTW - Why do you need to drain fuel for a show? Is less gas JDM or something?

no, its for fire safety reasons. If a cars going to be inside it needs to have very little gas in it.

for some strange reason i was thinkin he was in Ontario..

yah... at any indoor show it has to be below 1/4 ..

well, you learn something new everyday

[Rufes1]

Hmm thats wierd,,, It is proved a car petrol tank is more dangerous half full then it is at full....

Becuase the fumes are more likely to combust then the fuel itself..

[civickiller]

yeah thats true half tank is more dangerous because of the fumes but maybe its because if the gas spills out, little gas is better than a whole lot of gas

[dxhatchback]

i think the main reason is if one tank goes, it can be put out easier cuz there would be less fuel for th fire.. plus im shur people would rather have 1/4 tank that go out and fill up..
