Easy way to drain the gas tank?

Truck is down and out. Has some electrical issues so I figured I'll decommission the old bag for a while and do some major rehab work. Tank is full. Don't say stab a hole in it.

 

they are pretty easy to stuff a hose in and siphon it out. I did that when it was time to change the fuel pump with a full tank.

 

Simple, use one of these.

What size? I tried to get a 3/8 OD hose down there but got rejected.

 

3/8 will go just fine, I used 1/2".
You gotta twist and shove it a bit to get past the lip on the tank.

 

I don't know about an 03. But most newer vehicles are designed so that it is impossible to get a hose into the tank. You could do it with old school vehicles.

 

Yeah, I tried that. Looks like I'll eventually be pulling the bed so I'll drain it then.

 

Unscrew fuel filter, jump wire

 

Tomorrow morning

 

Pump is dead. Sweet! Might as well send the injectors in for rehab while I'm needle scaling.

What pump should I get?

 

You did it on a 1st gen Taco?

 

Yes

But seriously
I would take bed off to access FP
Especially if full tank of gas
6 bed bolts
Tail lights and lamp harness
12 pack for neighbor/friend to help you lift
Done.

 

I haven't even touched this shit for six months.

Can't wait to make the thread "Haven't started truck for three years, what should I do?"
