Easy way to pump gas out of gas tank
 

I got two cars that I half to pump all the gas out so I can wash out the tanks. One is the 56 Tee Bird and the other is a 63 Split Window Corvette.

ditto here - not sure why you would need to pump gasoline out. Maybe if you were scavenging for fuel? I would think that if you used the drain you would get more of the junk out of the tank than pumping... but what do I know lol :confused: I learn something new all the time on these old Fords.

I filled my tank full and then drained out half the gas in a can. I was checking the accuracy of a newly installed fuel gauge...............
