What is the easiest way to drain a gas tank? I am finally getting my jeep back on the road again after an engine rebuild. The last state inspection on it was from October of '03!!:gonnablow I bought it about 2 years ago and have slowly been going through the rebuild process. Just about everything is hooked back up and I am ready to try and start the motor for the first time but I need the tank to be emptied because there is no was gas that old can't be any good.
At first I was thinking about just droping the tank and removing the fuel pump and dumping it out from there. But then I started thinking about just removing the fuel line just before the fuel filter, turning the ignition to "Run" and just letting the fuel pump do its job and pump all of the gas out. Would this even work? Would there be any drawbacks to doing it this way if it will work?
