----- Original Message ----- I don't have a lift available or many other fancy
tools at the present time (in the middle of moving and setting up the garage)
and will be doing this in the street (cul-de-sac), so I'm looking at my options
for draining the gas tank.
What is the likelihood of siphoning enough gas from
the tank that any remaining bad gas would be diluted enough from new gas as not
to cause any issues? Is there any basic test that can be done to determine
how crappy the gas is (such as will it even hold a flame)?
Option B would be to try the drain plug, but I
don't have much in the way of catch or storage containers to catch the amount of
fuel I suspect is in the tank (I'm guessing 10-15 gallons but hopefully
it's less).
What are some good recommendations for a
gasoline-safe container to catch/store the bad gas in? I'd prefer not to
spend $100+ and would like to use the container(s) for at least partially
re-filling my car's gas tank once the bad gas has been disposed of (so that
rules out the Home Depot Homer Bucket). I've seen some large 10-14 gallon
Gas Cans or Fuel Caddys...but am open for any other suggestions as well. I
guess another option is to hit up the neighbors for gas cans...I could probably
get a few that way.
Ideas appreciated,
Garrett
