Drain Fuel Tank

How can I drain the fuel tank without removing it from the vehicle? I need to get the gas out of the tank and get a full fresh tank in (bad batch of gas, truck won't start). I know I can't siphon it out, what do I do?

Re: Drain Fuel Tank

Why do you say you can't siphon it out? If you don't want to remove the tank I don't know what else is left. There is no drain plug. I would remove it AFTER I siphoned out as much fuel as possible. While it was out I would clean it and install a drain plug before reinstalling.

Remove the inlet line to the fuel filter and turn the key to the on position.

Re: Drain Fuel Tank

I can't siphon the fuel because 92 models have an anti-siphon plate in the fill neck. I'll try the filter thing.

Be careful, it will come out at high pressure!

Excellent recommendation. And Blazee is right, I'm sure it will shoot out under high pressure. Extinguish all smoking materials!
