Okay, the tank is off

[SDTLR]

But how am I supposed to get the rest of the gas out

I have done everything possible, this side of punching a hole in the bottom

Please advise

Get a hose and suck!

I feel your pain... no easy way to do it except prop it up and try and siphon it out.

Better yet, pick up one of those $2 siphon deals they sell at most hardware stores.

Sucking gas...well...sucks.

What about at mityvac:dunno

You could set it in the driveway and throw a match in it.

I wouldn't use a vacuum for gas. You never know when those motors will throw a spark or something. Although watching SD re-enter the atmosphere would be quite a site

I done it a few times and never got gas in my mouth. I guess I was lucky! If you get a clear tube from home depot you see it comin!

You're still killing brain cells. Huffing gas sucks. I got a handy dandy hand-pump siphon device with a propane heater. It's great for jobs like this.

you could always unbolt the fuel pump

too risky. I dont want to risk a gas leak


Thanks, I will head to Lowe's tomorrow for a siphon kit

Just get a bit of pipe and syphon out as much as you can. You should be able to get almost all of it out. Then sit it in a nice well ventilated area for a day or so with the top open and the last little bit will evaporate.

Otherwise you could just take out the fuel pump from the bottom and replace the gasket while you have the tank off, this would also make it dead easy to get ALL of the gas out of the tank as there would be a giant hole in the bottom of it

I wouldn't believe that your re-using your old fuel pump, so remove it and then let the rest flow out. Or you could suck it out.

meh...i got mine out no prob...dumped as much out as possible, then undo the pump...there's not much left when you take the pump out...

To ovoid getting gas in your mouth, you could get a tube and punch a hole in it. Cover the hole with your hand, then open it as the gas reaches the hole----->clean mouth.

You could also use a turkey baster for the last little bit, assuming you can outrun the wife
