> Put a Rag In It and let it siphon out
>A match!
Thanks Hoot! Thanks Blaine! Those are exactly the kind of suggestions I was
looking for. I had thought about hose siphoning but figured it would leave a
lot of gas behind, particularly in those hard to reach areas. The rag siphon
should do exactly what I have in mind (I really didn't want to pull the
manifold). As for the match... I'm sorely tempted...
My grandfather used to always holler at me: "G** d*** it, you're going to
flood it!" when I'd tromp the pedal too much in his '51 3/4 ton. That was
back when our now 'classic' ADs were still just just plain old trucks.
Though he's 20 years dead, I could hear him hollering still when I looked and
saw my surprised reflection looking back out of a manifold full of gasoline.
I now understand why it's called "flooding."
