Draining fuel tank...?
Hello...
Is there any quick way to drain a full fuel tank from an Evo 8...?
Other than going through the fuel pump entry...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Phoenix

There is a bolt underneath the gas tank that u can remove and the fuel will come out , please very careful when doing stuff with fuel , i always have a Fire extinguisher on hand when working with fuel , and i always disconnect my battery when working with fuel also , keep it safe

This is the only way I know how to do it;

Pull and plug the retun line and attach a section of hose into a container.

Thanks for your reply guys.
Much appreciated!
@ Gary@MellonTuning
This gas tank bolt easily accessible from underneath the car...?
@ turbolarry...
I think your method will work best...
In the process of pulling out the motor...
Plenty room within engine bay now...
Just don't want to fuel to age in the tank, and cause issues once rebuild is done...

There's actually two bolts on the bottom of the fuel tank. One for each side of the tank. If I remember correctly, if you run the tank almost to the point of being empty, the majority of the fuel will be on the driver's side. Last time I did it, I think I still got a small amount of fuel from the passenger side as well.
