I use an extra holley electric fuel pump we had laying around. You can buy cheap ones from summit racing. They are worth it to have around. Hook up two long hoses to it...and some long wires with big alligator clips on the ends. Put the one end of the hose deep in the fuel tank...hook up the wires to the battery....and get some cans ready...lol.
If you really feel creative...you can hook up a nice switch in the positive wire. :drink: |
...less mess without the spark/arc dangers...

my old 4runner burns most old fuel without any problems just add a little 93 and some seafoam and filter it through with some paint strainers.

Whats a "cadillac" converter?

Burning it is no different than running it through your car (sans the cadillac converter). Pouring it into the ground is a huge mess that requires extensive and costly excavation to get rid of it.

This reminds me of a bit of advice a fellow board member here, freely advertises..."Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level & beat you with experience."
Catalytic converter, does that help your infantile mind phuck-tard? Burning gas into the air is a helluva lot better than pouring it onto the ground jackass. You're allegedly a boater, where does ground water end up? Yup, that's right... THE LAKE/OCEAN, where WE boat! Complain about semantics and be persnickety prick. The bottom line is you were wrong, you're embarrassed, and you're picking on anything you can get your hands on to save face. At the end of the day you're just making yourself look more dumb. :coolcowboy: |
Only on OSO that a simple question about pumping out old gas can turn into a sword fight. Put'em away and zip your flies back up boys.

He told me once that when he had a small amount of gas he needed to get rid of, such as a 55 gallon drum, he would just tip the drum over on its side, let all the gas run out on the concrete, and it would evaporate & be gone in 10-20 minutes, depending on the temperature, wind, etc.

%$%##% anti-siphon valve cut that plan short. |

I'm sure the EPA would frown on that. He's lucky he never got fined. Not everything in gas evaporates. I'm sure he's contaminated a good deal of material.
