| Gas be gone!! Not from ME! ;) The tank is out & has maybe 1/2 gallon sitting in it. I prefer to get it out but dont care to do the old Siphon Trick & taste gas all week!  What tricks do you guys use to get the last gallon out while its on the bench so to speak?  I know a Shop Vac is a BAD Idea!!

 | They sell small containers that you attach a hose and a vacuum pump to. You put the hose in the gas tank, then use the hand pump to suck the liquid out. They work great and I use mine all the time.....makes bleeding brakes a breeze also!! If you overfill your transmission they work great too... As another plus you can hook an airline where the vacuum pump goes and use that to fill rearends with fluid (it forces it out). Can also be used to run a small hose to the bottom of a chair, then when your friend sits in it you can walk over to the container and hit the lever on the air line to piss them off. Joe

| Dave Check Walmart's auto section... they had $5.00 gizmo to siphon gas out of the tank. I've never seen it in C-Tire but I was never looking. Here is a trick I learn from my father... get a hose, fill it with water or gas if you want to reuse the gas. Once the hose is filled, hold or plug the one end so it doesn't leak, put the other one into the tank... un-plug the other end into a pail or container. The tank must be higher than the pail you are putting the gas into. That's how my father cleaned our fish tank. with 1/2 a gallon, it might be better to use a good old turkey baster... $1.00 at the Dollar Store!!!!!! good luck... dave

| I just grabbed a nice push-pull hand pump for $20 but for $14 they had a electric one with 2 batteries that had a Long skinny wand that sucks & 2ft of plastic hose. Looked neat but I didnt trust it being all cheap plastic & pretty flimsy looking. Dave, thats how I drain my 65 gallon fish tank! Pouring thru the filler neck is a good Idea! Thanks!
