[Mgs] Siphoning Gas

[h.duinhoven at planet.nl]

Hi Dan,

 

Because of a defective fuel pump to be removed, I had to pump out most of the tank content.

I used a small motorbike fuel pump and got that into one of our cars.

This pump has a 3 feet tube for inside the tank thru the normal filling pipe.

I you want to drain the tank fully, check if there is a drain plug at the underside of the tank.

That can be used for the last part.

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers,

Hans

Hi all.... My '76B, which was off the road for 5 years, was recently returned to me from the shop. They added some new gas but did not siphon out the 5 year old gas (which was just under 1/2 tank when I had it towed in. The car is running pretty rough so I want to siphon out most of the gas before I fill it up. It is currently showing as just under 1/2 tank, so around 6 gallons or a little less (assuming gauge accuracy). 

 

I was able to pump out about 2 gallons but am wondering if the interior of the tank is baffled, as I can't seem to move the hose beyond a certain area and it's not sucking up any additional gas. Would really like to remove a couple more gallons before I fill it up.

 

Thx, 

 

Dan D
