Sparky Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Drive about Nahh there should be a plug where you can drain it on the tank somewhere not sure where sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davehart Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Lots of deep breathes and a hose pipe should do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lobotomy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I'd say to save any arguments just siphon it out! Also unless you like the tatse of petrol you can get these siphon pump thingy'bobers (JML actully sell one meant for washing windows etc from a pale of water... but I'm sure it could be used to siphon petrol)Also I've seen a few toyota petrol tanks that've been dropped to get fuel pumps fitted or powdercoated and I've never seen a drain plug, but to be truthful, none have ever been starlets.If cars do have these drain plugs though -- I might make a business of going round and emptying peoples tanks and selling the petrol on street corners in 40oz beer bottles wrapped in brown paper bags.
