Anyone know of a way to drain, siphon or pump out the old gas out of the gas tank ? I read in another forum that you can remove the horn relay and put it in the fuel pump relay socket, turn key on and the pump will empty the fuel out for you just run a hose to a bucket . anyone done that and confirm it actually works ??
Drain most of it with a hand pump, then use vcds to pump the rest out through your fuel pump, disconnecting the tubing and putting it into a safety can.
