Bob,
Congrats on your find! Best way to get the old gas out, is to do it
outside. That stuff is extremely volatile, so don't try to extract it while
inside a garage.
Support the tank from underneath, uncouple the gas lines and the filler tube
connections in the trunk. Remove the support straps, and remove the entire tank
from the car. Then pour the contents into other containers for safe disposal.
Where that is in your area, I don't know; probably a county hazardous materials
recycler. I only had a couple gallons of 15-yearold gas to deal with, and ended
up mixing it 50-50 with new gas in my old lawn mower; ran crappy but worked.
Take the empty gas tank to a radiator shop for a cleaning. Might as well take
the radiator in for a re-core at the same time.
