Hi Dan,

 

Because of a defective fuel pump to be removed, I had to pump out most of t=
he tank content.

I used a small motorbike fuel pump and got that into one of our cars.

This pump has a 3 feet tube for inside the tank thru the normal filling pip=
e.

I you want to drain the tank fully, check if there is a drain plug at the u=
nderside of the tank.

That can be used for the last part.

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers,

Hans

Hi all.... My '76B, which was off the road for 5 years, was recently return=

5 year old gas (which was just under 1/2 tank when I had it towed in. The c=

I was able to pump out about 2 gallons but am wondering if the interior of =
the tank is baffled, as I can't seem to move the hose beyond a certain area=
 and it's not sucking up any additional gas. Would really like to remove a =
couple more gallons before I fill it up.

 

Thx,
