Pulling the gas tank

xj92 · Oct 8, 2004

Do you have to drain the gas tank before you remove it? Probably a dumb question and probably a best practice to drain it. How do you drain it? I'm finishing up sleeving the rails all the way back to the bumper and would feel better if the gas tank were further away while I weld. TIA.

(I can look all this up in my Haynes manual when I get home tonight, but I'd rather be able to jump right in to save time, hence the question here).

I took mine off this last weekend again, didnt drain it, and it hasent stunk up the garage. Just cap the vent lines and two hose lines if yoru worried about it. I didnt even cap mine off.

If I drained it I wasn't going to throw it away

I just wish I'd ran it down a little before I ripped everything apart to lessen the weight because I believe it's 3/4 full right now.
