Yesterday we removed the fuel tank. Today, I drained it the best I could. The shop manual says to drain it out the filler tube fitting. There is a one-way valve there, so I had to hold it open with a screwdriver. An overall messy and smelly affair.
I am seriously considering never purchasing another gas powered vehicle. Ever. There a just too many oily, toxic chemicals to deal with. Though, the converted EV will still have power steering and break fluids, plus transmission oil.
By the way, there was more than two gallons of gas left in the tank. The light on the fuel gauge had come on shortly before we pulled it in the garage. I could have made a couple of trips to town...
The pile of detritus is getting larger - we will post a photo soon. The engine and transmission are still in the car - there isn't much else in the front, except some hoses and wires hanging about.
