Removing old fuel with out dropping the tank?
Is there an easy way of emptying the old fuel out of the tank in my 72 blazer without dropping the tank?

Maybe siphon via disconnected supply line at the fuel pump?

I hooked up a 12 volt fuel pump up to the fuel line.

I got it. Took the fuel supply line off the pump and did it from there. Thanks for the help guys.

Re: Removing old fuel with out dropping the tank?
If your draining your tank due to old fuel, you may want to drop the tank. You may find you have other problems in the tank other than old fuel. I just dropped a tank that had been sitting for 5 years and you wouldn't believe how bad the inside was.

Re: Removing old fuel with out dropping the tank?
I agree with Junksaver on this one. Draining the tank may work, but dropping the tank and inspecting it is a better idea.
