How to Remove Fuel from Gas Tank

I am a certified registered licensed and bonded mechanic I went to the University of technology institute in San Diego California, Gary001 I would advise that you be very careful when taking other people's advice regarding mechanic work always get a second and sometimes a third opinion go with your gut go with what makes sense. That being said after a vehicle has sat in place not being actively driven and taken through the motions and the gears for a prolonged period of time such as you stated yours has for several years with 1/8 of a tank there's a high likelihood that there is very little if any gas left in the tank itself, if there is any gas left in the tank itself I would caution you not to siphon it out if that is even possible at 1/8 of a tank several years ago it most likely has1/16 or less of a tank now because over prolonged period of time with the excessive heat and cold fluctuation the gas will partially evaporate what does not evaporate the surrounding tank unfortunately can sometimes get build up of condensation that's creating rust pockets or patches and you have no idea what other critters may or may not have wandered into your gas line or into your tank that being said it is dangerous to siphon out the gas tank at all however if you insist please do use precaution and use a siphoning pump however there are other ways you can go about doing this if you're adamant you want to remove all of the gasoline from your gas tank after sitting for prolonged period of time you may release the gas line underneath your vehicle you have a gas line that gas line goes to and from your tank it goes from your tank to your engine from your engine to your tank there are two lines there a return line and a sending line there's also the inlet line that you put where you put the gas into your gas tank and there is a purge valve under your hood in the gas line that if you remove the cap you place the water bottle or an approved gasoline container or something that will not melt do not use a milk jug it will melt if you put a container around the lip or the head of the purge valve you will be able to start your engine and as your fuel pump is running it will with the purge valve open which sometimes you need a special tool sometimes you can make your own but when the purge valve is open it will spit your fuel right into the container from the engine department there's no need to suck on the hose or use an expensive pump which ends up being garbage in that you can do this every easier ways and if you have any further questions you can feel free to email me at any time at rideordieboss84@gmail.com and or you can contact me via Facebook messenger at Dusti Savok. I heard you to take a couple crash courses in basic vehicle mechanics and learn what's under your hood how it operates and what under your carriage of your vehicle and now that operates it's beneficial to know these things we may not always have mechanics available ready and able to perform our mechanic work for us good luck hun.
